Ratna transcribes the most wonderful dialogues with her children at her blog. One of them, to wit One of those Violin Class trips, sparked my responses about Angel Face's current obsession.
See, Angel Face at five is really keen to have babies.
Our response to this is a litany that goes like this: "After you finish high school and you go to college and earn your degree, you will get your Masters degree and complete your Ph.D. - THEN you can get married and then when you're 35 you can have babies, as many as you want."
So now her story goes like this: "One day when I am big and old and 35 I will have lots of babies, no only two, a boy and a girl, but I don't like boys, so maybe I will have a boy and girl twins, and then I will have another girl....."
This gets repeated umpteen times a day. Then, this morning in a sequel she comes into our room. I'm in the dressing room getting ready for work, so she asks my husband: "Peddananna, can you help me pull up the zipper on my backpack?"
While he is helping her, she states: "I can't wait until I'm 35."
Taken aback, he asks: "Why?"
"So that my mommy can stay at home and look after my babies while I go to work."
