Funny Talk

This morning while Abby was watching TV a commercial for some mail-order toy came on. She watched it (I was in the room too- laying on the couch with the stomach flu) and at the end it said, "Must be 18 to order. Call with your credit card now" or something like that. She turned around to me from her chair and said, "You have a credit card, right?" So she was all set to order whatever it was because, yes, Abby, I have a credit card.

Tonight we were going over some of the papers she brought home from school. One of them was a workbook page of a bunch of pictures all starting with the letter "g", which they studied last week. I would point to a picture and she'd tell me what it was. It was kind of hard for her. Anyway, I pointed to the picture of a "girl"-

Abby: "Barbie".
Mom: "No, Abs, 'Barbie' does not start with 'g'. That's a "girl".
Abs: "Ohhhhhhhhhh."

Darn those McDonald's Happy Meals!
