Oh, the things Eliana asks when we're driving in the van! I could fill up the blog daily with this stuff if I only had the time. She seems to think the van is the best place to ask all thought-provoking, life-altering questions, such as the time she decided to ask, "May we get a pet?" while I was fighting to strap a very resistant Evangeline into her carseat before everyone else in the parking lot was convinced that I must surely be kidnapping the child. I guess you could say she really needs to work on her delivery. Anyway, here's a nugget from today:
Eliana: "Mommy?"
Me: "Yes?"
E: "I want to be a mommy now."
Me: (playfully) "Well, you know, once you become a mommy you can't ever stop, no matter how tired you may be."
E: "No matter how tired you are?"
Me: "Yeah, no matter how tired you are."
E: (thinking)... "Well, I'm ready to be a mommy. (pause) I'm just not tall enough yet."
Me: (laughing)
E: "Am I tall enough yet, Mommy?"
Me: "No, sweetie. I don't think you're tall enough yet."
