Yeah, sorry I've been quiet lately. I've got a lot going on (well, when don't I?) and blogging here is generally a low-priority personal project. When I have that kind of time, I'm usually doing some writing or editing, or cleaning, or, you know, whatever.
But I'll share with you this little gem from today:
Sasha: Mommy? I want to buy a zucchini.
Matt: A zucchini? Do you even know what a zucchini is?
Sasha: No...
Matt: It's like a cucumber.
Sasha: No, I want a zucchini swimsuit.
Matt: Um, OK.
(Later)
Sasha: Remember I want a zucchini!
Me: Sasha, a zucchini is a kind of vegetable.
Sasha: Oh. Well I mean, I want a zucchini swimsuit.
Me: OK, I guess we'll look for one. ...What is it, anyway?
Sasha: It's a swimsuit!
Me: Do you know what they look like?
Sasha: Well, um, it's got something on top and... (rubbing her belly) nothing here.
Me: Ohhhhhhhh. You mean a BIKINI.
Sasha: Oh! OK. I want a zucchini...bikuni... bikini swimsuit.
Me: Well, they aren't very good for swimming because it's hard to get them to stay on right. Let's go look for a one-piece swimsuit for you instead.
Sasha: Hurray! I want a one-piece swimsuit!
