Some 'cdotes

Pepper cookies are delicious

So, yesterday Evangeline and I made pepper cookies. Pepper cookies don't have any egg (not that I, personally, care), so I handed over a beater when we were done.

"Connie! This batter is SO YUMMY! I can't stop eating it!"

It really is that good, too :)

In which we confirm that mythological creatures probably are animals after all

Today, Evangeline and I played categories. We were listing animals. (If she got stuck on her turn, I'd give her a hint or two, if you're curious.) I listed animals such as cows, birds, and elephants. Evangeline? The tooth fairy, mermaids, dragons. Oh, and a duck is not an animal. No, according to her, ducks are just ducks, that's all.

I'd type one or two of Ana's, but I think I hear the pitter patter of moving furniture upstairs, I need to run up.

Edit: Here's an Ana one. It's short, so no cut.

Recently, Ana's had an interest in babies. She says she wants one, she'd take good care of it. And we've all reiterated that babies are a *big responsibility* and she can't have one until she's a grown-up, no matter how hard she thinks she'll work.

Maybe it's sunk in, or maybe she's just fickle like most five year olds, but Thursday she gave me an impassioned speech about how disgusting babies are, because they poo and pee in their diapers and drool. All of which is true, though I'm not sure I'd describe *them* as disgusting, just their diapers and drool.

This isn't a fun Ana-cdote. I'm sorry.

With the same passion as before? I loved his facial expressions.

Dragons are definitely animals. Mermaids are at least half.

Various fae, well, I'd have to think about that one.

Well, they can be either animal, vegetable, or mineral. They aren't vegetables, and they sure aren't minerals, so... animals it is!

Mind, neither child is very likely to believe me when I assert that humans are animals. "No! We're just PEOPLE!"

Ana's feelings are exactly why I'm CF

I just asked my girlfriend's friend if her six-year-old thinks the tooth fairy is an animal. At six she apparently doesn't believe in the tooth fairy (!)

Ana doesn't, which is all for the best to me. It's the winking.

After she lost her second tooth, I suggested she might get a flower dollar bill instead of a heart. "How are you going to do a FLOWER????" "You mean - *winkwink* - the tooth fairy?" "Connie. You're the tooth fairy." "I know. Just don't tell people at school, because some of them think the tooth fairy is real." "Okay." "And don't tell them about Santa or the Easter Bunny either, same reason. "Okay. Wait - those are all really grown-ups?" "... Yes. We've been over this." "Okay!"
