".......and I approve this message"


Yes, just a little more political humor for you........last night, while making dinner, I asked Dave who the media was saying won Wednesday night's debate. Layla said, "did John McCain win?" and before I could answer she says, "I'm John McCain and I approve this message." Of course I laughed and asked her where she heard that and she said on the phone. I asked her if she had answered the phone when I wasn't with her (which she should not be doing) and I never did get a straight answer. She is in love with answering the phone and I've had trouble with her answering when I'm not in the room or when I'm in the shower. So, as far as I know, she fielded a recorded message from John McCain.

Layla had her first field trip this week to the fire station. I got to go and it was really fun to see her with her class. She was very apprehensive at the station. She kept asking me if we could go home. I wasn't sure if she was just being clingy because I was there or what was going on. Half way through the visit she had to go to the bathroom. When we were by ourselves I asked her why she didn't like the fire station. She said, "because I don't like fires mom and there's fire here." I guess I didn't explain to her that the fire station is where the firemen and the fire trucks wait and rest until there is a fire somewhere else. Her little mind was waiting for a fire to break out any minute. Poor thing......I wouldn't have liked the fire station either! Once I explained away her worry, she enjoyed herself and got to get into the fire truck with Mrs. Rhodes.

Jen, I am laughing about the fire station and Layla's fear! It really is logical. I have a friend who also has a three year old, and recently a new baby. In that house they are not allowed to say paci-fire, or humidi-fire, because Avery thinks fire will shoot out of those objects! I love the mind of 3 year olds!
