Kids say the funniest things
MommyPenguin:
A character in a TV show was singing in front of others, and got stuck on a word. "Twinkle, twinkle, little..."
"Diamond!" Jenny (3) helpfully supplied from the couch.

She is starting to think about what items she needs for college and what parts of her life will be left behind.
Today's conversation concerned her extensive - and still growing - collection of stuffed animals.
DD "I'll give most of them up -they're really just an indulgence."
Me - knowing how attached she is to them, and thinking to start things gently - "Why don't you start now? Just a half dozen or so?"
DD, in genuine horror "I can,t do that! They all have names and I can't break up couples! Rouge and Windrider are married and have a kid! I can't break up families!!"
:D
Somehow, I think we still have a long way to go. ;D ;D

I know this was awhile ago, but maybe it'll help her feel better. I'm 30, married, and a mother of 5 1/2 month old twins. When I got married and moved out of Mu parents house, a laundry bag full of stuffed animals came with me, and I still have them! They're in the spare bedroom closet for now, but I just couldn't part with them!

I'm the same age as you and I also have a collection of stuffed animals. I do occasionally go through and donate some of them, but the rule is that once they hit the donation bin, Mr. Muse is not allowed to "make them talk" under pain of having an apartment taken over by stuffed animals-- because I'd feel bad about getting rid of them, and so, they'd have to stay.

Well...the last time I was on holiday I brought her home another stuffie.
I suppose that if I am enabling her, I can't really complain too loudly now can I? ::)

--- Quote from: Redwing on May 10, 2012, 12:53:53 PM ---My granddaughter is almost four and an avid Spiderman fan. She and her dad were playing Spiderman with granddaughter’s toys. Peter and Harry were arguing saying "Mary Jane is MINE; No, she's MINE," etc. My daughter got into the game, and g-daughter told her to play the part of Peter (portrayed by Woody from Toy Story). Daughter had Peter say, "I respect women's rights. Mary Jane, you are your own unique person, and you belong to nobody except yourself." So Son in law had Harry say, "So Mary Jane, who do you want to marry?" And G-daughter had Mary Jane reply, "I just want to sit here and read a book."
