Baby-sitting Highlights

We have been watching our nieces (ages 8 & 5) for a few days while their parents went to NY. Lauren (5) had some entertaining things to say. She told me that we should buy a house, and that I don't know much about houses, only apartments. Little does she know I have not lived in a one bedroom apartment my whole life.
Since I had a lot of paintings to finish, I took over the kitchen table with painting supplies. After a few days of painting day and night I was informed they had never left a mess on the table for that long before.
When Brandon was reading them a book I brought (Roger the Jolly Pirate) he was telling them how I knew the author and Lauren asked if he was a real person, Brandon responded yes. I heard her asking a few more questions throughout the book like, "So this really happened?" and I'm pretty sure she thinks Roger the Jolly Pirate is real and that I know him personally.

One day you will have children of your own that will say things to others that will make you shudder and cringe! Children are so honest and literal! Thankfully, we have not arrived at that day yet, ourselves.
