This is the exact conversation today driving home. Talk about a short attention span!
MM - Who does Granny live with?
ME - No-one, but she used to live with Grandpoppy!
MM - Grandpoppy was your daddy right?
ME - Yes he was!
MM - I wish I saw him.
ME - Me too!
MM - Oh look there's a llama.
ME - Oh yes.
MM- Did I come out of your tummy.
ME - Yes you did.
MM - Did daddy come out of your tummy.
ME - No he didn't he came out of nana's tummy.
MM - Why?
ME - Because Nana is daddy's mummy.
MM - But she's not dead.
ME - No she is not dead.
MM - Is she as old as you because you are getting old!
ME - No! She is much older than me, thanks!
MM - Why did you say thanks?
ME - Because I was being sarcastic!
MM - Oh look there's a cow!
ME - Is daddy as old as you?
MM - Almost.
MM - You have a daddy right?
ME - I do, it was grandpoppy and he died.
MM- But daddy's a daddy!
ME - Yes but he is your daddy not my daddy.
MM - Oh!
MM - Oh look there's some horses!

Too funny! I wonder how far that conversation would have gone if you had been at the zoo - apparently each different animal brought her a new line of thought on the family tree!
but where else did you see a llama?! On the freeway??!!
Yep we have loads of conversations along those lines... all very familiar :)
I just love children's conversations....and their attention spans! Too cute x
This was just adorable. I can't wait to have conversations with mine. And seriously - you live near llamas and horses? Lucky kids you have!
I recognize those conversations. Makes your head spin and your heart smile:)
Awww that was great. I really miss those conversations, adult ones aren't nearly as interesting.
Sounds about right...
My head is spinning. So far, I'm only required to acknowledge statements. But Eleanor is starting with the questions...
I love this conversation!
That's great and you know you can always distract him from any conversation. Oh look! Elephants!
I love this. (: I'm still laughing. I could read the whole day's conversation. I know this is in my near future, but my two-year old is still mastering bossing us around before he starts asking questions.
Now THAT is hilariously brilliant :)))
