Conversations with Andi

This afternoon during our tea party. . .
A: "Mom, would you like some dessert, It's really yummy. I call it fish cake."
M: "Fish cake?"
A: "Yes, you'll like it, it's not poison."

Last week as I was raking leaves out of the flower beds.  .  .
A: " Mom stop! Don't throw the leaves away!"
M: "Andi, I have to. They are old yucky dead leaves."
A: "They are old?"
M: "yes, they fell off the tree and are dead, and now we have to get rid of them."
A: "What happens when YOU get old Momma?"
M: "Well, I'll die too."
A: " No! I don't want you to die!" (cue full on tears!)
M: "Andi it's going to be a very long time before Mommy get's old. In fact you will be a grown up mommy with your own babies before I die."
A: "But then I'll get old and die and my babies will be sad!"
M:(seeing no other way out of this conversation) "Yes, but that will be a long, long, long time from now, so don't worry about. Don't talk about it anymore."

Just a shot of her during play time with Daddy.
