A woman Landon has met once came up in conversation because she taught the Music & Movement class Landon attended, and I was telling him she would be leading the story time we wanted to attend, as well. She's a curiosity to him because she works at "my" library doing "my" job, but now he gets the benefit of enjoying me at these programs in a different way.
"Mom, she is so pretty--she reminds me of hot chocolate. And I really love hot chocolate."
"I know you do, and you're right, buddy, she is so pretty."
"Will our baby have skin like hot chocolate? Or maybe we could get one like chocolate milk, maybe? That would be nice...could we, Mom?"
"I don't think we will, Landon. It's a nice thought, though."
"What color will our baby be?"
"Probably something close to your skin color, hon."
"Oh. Well I guess that will be ok. What about our baby's hair? What color will that be?"
"What color do you think it will be?"
"Purple?"
He lives in such a possible, beautiful world, my three-year-old.
Imagitive...wish our kids would keep that will they grow into adults!
