I am NOT making this up. [Also, for some background, we took two airplanes to get to 'Sconsin earlier this year.] Just now we were talking about how far away Arendelle is. (Yeah, I know it's a made up place.) I told her it was twice as far as GranGran's house and that GranGran's house is halfway to Arendelle. Then this happened: Her: So we could just drive there. Me: No way, it's way far away. Her: So we would have to fly? Me: Yep. We would have to take TWO more airplanes to get there. [pause] Her: So we would go on FOUR airplanes? Me: *stares dumbfoundedly* from Facebook

Nov 9: Grateful for my kid who comes up with the weirdest things. Like today at breakfast (literally out of the blue, as in right before this we were talking about butter): Her: Me and Mommy are white and Daddy is brown. [Strange looks exchanged between Alex and I] Me: Hmm. Why do you say that, honey? Her: I dunno. Alex: Where did you learn that, bebé? Her: Nowhere. Me: Well, what makes me and you white, and Daddy brown? Her: [starting to get shy] I'm just kidding. Me: [smiling] It's ok to notice things, I'm just curious why you think that. Alex: Is it the color of our hair? Her: Yes. Me: [acting silly] Waaiiit a minute. When did you get white hair?! Her: [laughing] Noooo! Alex: So what color is your hair? Her: Brown! Me: So you're brown too! Her: No! Daddy is brown and you and me are white. And Grandpa is brown. Us [trying not to laugh]: So what is Grandma? Her: White! Boys are brown and girls are white. Us: Hmmm. This is especially confusing because she and I aren't that much fairer than Alex. We asked her what "color" several of our friends and family are but by then she was over it and kept saying "I dunno" and laughing. from Facebook
