Is this thing on?

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!
