Conversation with Evangeline yesterday

[conuly]

Location: Walking to pick up Ana, a nice, warm day.

Eva: I wish I could go to the beach.
Me: Yeah, but not today, it's not warm enough.
Eva: Actually, it's not hot enough, Connie!
Me: That's what I said.
Eva: Maybe in the summer we can go to the beach.
Me: Oh, definitely. We'll be sure to go this summer.
Eva: Last time we went to the beach, Ana saw... saw... those things? they have 'tingas?
Me: Jellyfish?
Eva: Yeah, jellyfish! We saw jellyfish! And I never saw them before, and we ran back to Daddy's... to Daddy's...
Me: Umbrella? Towel?
Eva: Daddy's umbrella and towel, and we just played there.
Me: Mm-hm.
Eva: And I don't think there are any jellyfish where Bonne-maman is, right? There aren't any in the POOL, right?
Me: No, not in the pool, but-
Eva: I don't think jellyfish can be in the pool because how could they get there? That's silly. They can't get in the pool!
Me: No, they can't get in the pool.
Eva: Because they can't... they can't take a jellyfish plane, Connie! *giggles*

What a logical little thing she sounds! Heh, "they can't take a jellfish plane" - she's so right, and I'm so glad it's so; flying jellyfish would be Just Too Much.

Really? Because I find the image of a little jellyfish plane filled with jellyfish passengers and jellyfish luggage and jellyfish flight attendants to be ridiculously appealing!
