I had an interesting conversation with Mila this morning. She asked me why I didn't have a baby in college and I told her it was because I wasn't married yet. Here is what followed:
Mila: You were just a human
Me: Um..yes.
Mila: But when did you be a mermaid?
Me: I said married... I wasn't married in college...
Mila: I know...but when did you be a mermaid?
Me: I was never a mermaid. I've always been human.
Mila: Why?
Me: Umm because...uh cause...
Mila:(yelling) Why?!? Cause is not a reason!
Me: (Laughing) okay, you're right-cause is not a reason. I guess I wasn't a mermaid because I was born human and I don't have flippers or anything.
Mila: Vienn's Mommy was a mermaid...I saw a picture.
Me: Really? That was probably just pretend...
Mila: No, it was real...she was away from the water.
So I'm not sure where she saw a picture of my friend as a mermaid, but I'm pretty sure Summer (Vienn's mommy) has never been a mermaid. Maybe I should I check with her to make sure. Ha ha I think Mila was a little disappointed that I was never a mermaid. I love these conversations with her more and more as she gets older and starts trying to figure things out. I need to be quicker with my responses though.
