From Ellie

The other day Ellie and I were talking about words with multiple meanings.
"Oh, you mean like FREE?" she asked. "Free means you're not a prisoner anymore."(she learned about prisoners from all the Barbie Fairy movies)
"Yes, and what else?" I ask thinking of an item not costing any money.
"Like the number Free." was her response.


Another one:
"I wish I had a normal sister."
"Why, what would a normal sister do?" I asked.
"Well, she would listen to me and do what I say."

Another:
"My sister is ignoring"
(Did she mean she was be ignored or annoying?)

Another:
"Is this why moms have kids, so they can do all the work in the house?"

Ellie makes me laugh and the best is when she gets right in your face with those BIG eyes to tell you something VERY SERIOUS!! ;)

I would have to say to Ellie "YEP" to her last question. Because someday she will do the same with her kids :o) At least thats what my mom always said to me!!
