Last week, my lovely daughter told me that she was going to run away. I was changing her diaper, and she looks at me and says
"Mom (yes Mom), I onna run way."
"Your going to run away?" I asked
"Yep Mom, run..aaaaway" and she points her finger towards the door.
"Where are you going?" I asked
"I, I , I live at store!"
I decide to inquire further.
"What will you eat and drink at the store?"
Without hesitation, " I eat Thai food, and drink coffee" she replies
"And who will change your diaper and give you a bath?"
With a big smile, "Katie will change a diaper" (she's our good friend).
After lunch today, Vaughn and I were talking about Daddy.
"Vaughn, what is Daddy?" (they usually reply"A Man")
"Daddy a bird"
"Daddy is a bird?What color is Daddy?"
"green, yeah a green bird. He fly away, to far (reaching to the ceiling) to high, can't reach 'em"
"And Mommy is...?"
"A yellow...bunny rabbit"
"What are you?"
"A green bird, no... a bunny rabbit bird" I guess her understands the blending of DNA.
"You are a bunny rabbit bird?"
"Oh" ("Oh", means "yes" to Vaughn, it's an Italian thing I think)
"What is Avery then?"
"Avey a red (her favorite color) bunny rabbit too."
It is so funny to watch how much they imagine every day. I've learned a votive candle can be a baby's bottle, a fig bar bitten a certain way can become a boot for your finger. Spitting water from your mouth makes you an elephant, and a dust bunny from under the couch is a mouse.

Wouldn't you love to have a window into their mind? How in the heck did he come up with a Green Bird?
green is his favorite color. i don't know why rick is a bird tho'.
maybe it's a metaphor for something. "the green birds flies out of reach"???? maybe he wants to be closer to rick.
