It can be hard to keep up.

So we're admiring her (still drying - how come if I accidentally leave the lid off some play doh it's a rock in 30 min, but when we're trying to make sculptures that last they're staying soft for days?) "animals for her friends" and she points to the anatomically correct gingerbread man and says "There's his hoo-hoo! (sooo fascinated by the hoo-hoo's all of a sudden) You have to be veeery careful of boy hoo-hoo's." Now, this gets our attention. What? Careful? Where was this sage advice BEFORE I produced the little terrorists? (Kidding, kidding... most of the time.)

Me: Why do you have to be careful of boy hoo-hoo's?

Jayne: Because you could accidentally hurt them!

(Ok, this is sounding familiar now. I think Joe gave her a lecture once after she stepped directly on his very own "boy hoo-hoo". The kid weighs 36lbs. Think about it for a while. Then (if you're a woman), laugh.)

M: Ohhhhh. You're right. You do have to be careful.

J: You also should be careful of mud!

M: Why?

J: So you don't get the muddy foot!

M: (laughing)

J: And you need to be careful of noodles!

M: (still laughing - gestures for her to explain)

J: So you don't get the saucy foot!




Sometimes it can be hard to keep up with these conversations. Maybe this is what being on drugs is like? Hey, folks! Want a "trip", but don't want to worry about that pesky drug test your company administers? Have a conversation with a two year old! It promises to be a good time!
