Backseat Ramblings

"Momma, so girls have boyfriends and boys have girlfriends, right?"
brief moment of thought
"Yes, that's right .. but sometimes girls have girlfriends and boys have boyfriends too."
a little pause...
"OH GOOD! I can't wait to have a Girlfriend! ..."
~you gotta give it to them straight when they ask, right?~

"Momma, can you give me my flu shot before Christmas?"

"but I already did that last month. You don't get it two times in one year"

" I know Momma, but I want you to give it to me at Christmas next year. When you give it to me, it doesn't hurt. When I go to the doctor's office, it hurts."

awww

Little Man pipes up ... "I love it when you give me my flu shot"

~in France, you buy your flu shot kit at the pharmacy and administer it yourself or have another family member do it. Of course, you can have it done at your doctor's office too if you want to (I think you bring your own to have his nurse do it)~

"Momma, I miss my sisters"

"I know baby. I miss them too"

"Maybe C can come here and find a boyfriend that's French."

a few minutes of silent thinking ...

"I bet Clement has a big brother that could be her boyfriend"

cool - so now the 5 yr old is hooking up the 22 yr old. Big sister ought to LOVE that !

"Momma, My friends always ask my teacher ... "Qu'est-ce qu'elle a dit?"spoken with a true French accent!
Then she goes on to explain ... "That means - what did she say?"
I kept asking her to repeat it because she sounded so cute speaking French! My heart melted a teeny bit...

I need to put a tape recorder in my van. There are so many interesting thoughts being shared from the back seat. Unfortunately, I can't always recall them all. I know there were more from just lastnight's adventure in Christmas shopping that'd surely bring a smile to your face, as they did mine...

Have a great day!
