silly things kids say

Today driving to dance class my daughter and I had a conversation....ok not really a conversation. More like she talked and I got to say a few words. I love listening to her talk and talk. She will say the funniest things. This is how the conversation went today...I promise she isn't always thinking of herself and the way she looks, but that is what it sounded like today.

Chlorine: I just decided today that I am going to be a famous singer. I am going to have lots of money. I will be a millionaire. If you are a millionaire you can go shopping. When you are shopping you can spend $1000 dollars and still be a millionaire. I am going to have a limo that is so long with won't be able to turn corners. If I need to turn a corner I will have to get out and get into another limo. I will have lots of limos...a large one, med. one and a small one. I am going to ship you a maid so you don't have to clean the house because I will be living in Hollywood and you will be living here.

Mom: can I live somewhere warmer because I like when it is warm.

Chlorine: yes, I will ship you to a warmer place. I will also have lots of sunglasses. I might be a dancer instead. I want to be a lifeguard like you. That would be fun. Do you get to swim when you are a lifeguard? I don't want to do it if I don't get to swim. I will also be a designer and also a dentist. I want to be a teacher too. I will design lots of beautiful dresses. I will have someone to fix my food. You can also have someone cook for you. I will have to have bodyguards at every door because everyone will want to talk to me. My friend is going to be a singer with me so we will be sharing a big house. She needs a bigger house because she has lots of brothers. They can't have lots of brothers living in a small house. They take up a lot of room and she doesn't get any room.

Tomorrow is PJ day. I need to pick out some PJ tomorrow. I liked wearing a hat today. I kept stealing Andrew's hat. It is fun to take his hat. What do I dress up for on Thursday and Friday?

Mom: we can look when we get home

A few second pause

Chlorine: they make brownies but why doesn't anyone make a pinky or bluey. Why do they call it brownies?

Mom: I don't know, we can look it up.

Chlorine: I want to see what I look like when I am adult. I told my friends that if you were cute as a kid then you will be ugly as an adult. They freaked out.

Mom: you know that isn't true...you are cute now and will be a beautiful adult.

Chlorine: I know, but it was fun to make my friends freak out. I wonder if I am going to have lots of kids and who I will marry. I hope it is Andrew. I will be so happy and would jump up and down.

Mom: There are lots of boys in this world. Remember mom and dad grew up in different places and met as adults.

Chlorine: I know, I wonder if there is a boy in Montana that likes me or maybe in Idaho. I know a boy that likes me in Idaho, but I don't like him. Well I like him as a friend.

If I keep eating chocolate bars I will be fat and then I will call myself fatsina. Then i will have to eat fruit. I think I will keep eating chocolate bars until I am perfect and then eat fruit.

That building has beautiful dresses in the window. Someday I want to try on all those dresses. Someday can you take me to a spa? It would be fun when dad and Luke are gone on a boy thing then we could go to a spa. Maybe we could do another girly thing.

Mom you were really cute as a kid. I wonder what I would look like if I had brown hair. When I grow up I am going to have grey hair.
