Conversations with Lanie

Delanie on her 3rd birthday

Lanie: "Mom, I have a really great idea."
Me: "Oh yeah, what is it honey?"
Lanie: "I think we should have a pretend birthday party for me today but have REAL presents, and I could open them and act really surprised!"
Me: "Sounds great but it's not your birthday."
Lanie: "I know, but it would be soooo fun! I will wait here and you can run to the store."
Me: "I can't leave you and Gentry home alone while I run to the store crazy girl."
Lanie: "Oookay, but maybe we could do it tomorrow. And you can make me strawberry cake and we can call everyone to come over."
Me: "How about we do that on August 30th sweet girl."
Lanie: "How come on August 30th?"
Me: "Because that is your birthday."
Lanie: "But what about a pretend birthday TODAY?"

This conversation went on for 20 minutes, at least!
