I was hamming around this afternoon and out of the blue, Rachel said, “If you weren’t my mommy I would still love you.”

We don’t need to talk about all the whining in the car this morning. Whooosh, all whooshed away by 10 golden words.

In my house, manners are never a simple matter. Oh no.

Conversation during dinner.

Rachel: Every time I want to say delicious I almost say disgusting by mistake, so I don’t say anything.

Me: Oh.

Hannah: Every time I want to say belicious, I say bisgusting, and I do……But then I need to say No, Thank you, so nobody gets huwt. And then I twy to eat it and my tummy doesn’t huwt anymore.

Hand over the Tofu (and those Vegetarian recipes).

(Last night at dinner)

Rachel pokes at the chicken and asks, “Is this chicken still alive?”

I answer, “No.”

A few minutes later she asks me, “Do you think it hurts the chicken when we bite it?”

I answer, “No.”

Rachel says thoughtfully, “I think it does.”

A History of Juggling

Raehan — Wed, 17 Jan 2007 06:49:36 +0000

As I was putting Hannah to sleep tonight she asked me, “Can you juggle?”

I looked at her and said, “No. Not really. Can you?”

“No,” she said.

“Who can juggle? Clowns?” I wondered out loud.

“And dinosaurs…” she added, thoughtfully.

Another Good Point

Raehan — Mon, 15 Jan 2007 22:04:50 +0000

Rachel (to me): Why do you love me?

Me: First of all, because you are my daughter. And also because you’re interesting, and fun, and you make me think…

Rachel: And I have a lot of good points?

Rachel: I think when mom grows up she’s going to be a teacher.

Hannah: (as we were driving past an area we used to lived). When I lived here I was in Daddy’s tummy.
