From the Mouths of Babes

Charley: (chanting and singing in the car a few days ago) "God and Santa NEVER die!! God and Santa NEVER die!! God and Santa NEVER die!! GOD AND SANTA NEVER DIE!!!"

Can you tell she's a bit curious about death these days? :)

*********************************************************************************

Charley: (talking in the back seat of the car to Zander) "Boy Zander, I sure hope that Santa and Mrs. Claus die pretty soon."

Danielle: "Charley, why would you wish death upon Santa and Mrs. Claus? That's not very nice."

Charley: "Because Mom, I REALLY want to be Mrs. Claus one of these days, and I REALLY want Zander to be Santa. And that can't happen unless they die."

Today I was the mommy helper in Charley's 4-year-old preschool class, and I was privy to the following conversation among a few of her classmates (names have been changed to protect all parties ;)).

Andrew: "Miss Danielle, have you ever seen PBS Kids?"

Danielle: "PBS Kids? Yeah, we've watched PBS on T.V. a few times at our house."

Kelly: (in a disgusted tone) "It's NOT PBS Kids, Andrew, it's PBS Kids dot org (PBSKids.org)."

Gabby: "PBS Kids dot orbit? That's not on T.V., that's on the puter!"

Kelly: "No it's not! PBS Kids dot ORG, not orbit, is on the T.V.!!!! I've seen it!!!!

Danielle: "You guys know what PBS Kids.org means?"

Andrew: (annoyed) "Uh, YEAH, PBS Kids.org is on the computer AND the T.V. We have it at home."

Tony: "Yeah, we have it on our computer at home too. I play on it all the time"

Gabby: "Yeah, me too. We play games on PBS Kids.org."

Danielle: "Are you sure you guys are only 4?!?"
