Both of them at the Y, actually. And both on the same subject.
1. Evangeline was getting changed for swimming and I teased her by saying her toes were blue. Evangeline can be a very literal child and so serious, and she said to me "No, they're black and white."
Let me just say I genuinely had no idea where she was going with that, and we managed to frustrate each other very much when I said "...gray?" and then tried out "brown!" for size.
No, she assures me, she's just black and white, and so are her toes.
2. A few days later, we were stuck there doing her homework. One of her words of the week was "white". I had suggested that snow is white, or clouds are white, or the flower is white.
Evangeline had her own ideas. "I... love... Kuh... ah... nnn..."
Me: N-I-E. Wait. Is that my name?
Evangeline: *giggles*
Me: Wait. Wait, no, you can't write that!
Evangeline: (patting my arm) That's you. You're white!
Me: No, I mean, yes, but no! Stop!
Evangeline: Who... is...
Me: NO! *headdesk*
Evangeline: White!
Me: THIS IS NOT WHAT YOUR TEACHER MEANT!!!
Evangeline: All done!
I have no idea what her teacher thought about that homework assignment. But that's all right. School is out in only a few months.
