The Negotiator is convinced we need a cat. It's not really likely to happen, but we did end up with a gerbil farm, all because of a field trip to price pet supplies, as an extension of math class, so I guess nothing's impossible.
This morning she was asking for a pen and a paper.
When I asked what she'd like to use it for, she replied "So that I can make a list of all the things we're going to need to get a cat."
"Fair enough." (I've learned to just roll with these things now. Just because we end up with a list of things a cat needs, doesn't mean we'll need a cat right?!)
Since I was currently in the middle of taking care of another task, she started making her list aurally.
"A bed, a litter box, cat food, water, a urinal...."
"A Urinal?!!!"
"No mom. A YARN BALL"!
Serves me for being distracted!
What wonderful things have you misheard your children say lately?
POST SCRIPT: We now have TWO CATS, and a crazy cat lady in the works... and she's making lists about dogs now...
