We were on our way back from Lake Fairfax and the kids were all talking in the back of the car. We all started discussing how people are related and how I am a wife and a mom, but not all people are a wife and a mom together, etc (they thought all married women had children). So, then we started talking about how their grandma is my mom. So it carried over that one day they would have kids and I would be a grandma, but I would still be their mom. Besides the cuteness of Rachael saying "So when I grow up will Trevor be my dad?" lol. She decided to name her children right then and there.
Rachael: Mommy, I am going to name my kids Duststorm, Gleam and (something else totally strange I forget).
Trevor : Those are dumb names for people Rachael. No one names people names like that, only pets.
Me, supporting Rachael: Well, some people *do* name their children unconventional names. Our names might be strange to people in another culture.
Trevor : I know! Rachael, you can have three kids and name them Trevor, Rachael and ARIEL!
Rachael, all thrilled : Yea! Trevor, Rachael, Ariel and Ribby-pie!!!
Trevor, sighing : Ribby-pie is NOT a name!
It was so funny listening to them! Then in the bath this evening.
Rachael : It stinks in here.
Trevor: I did not fart. It wasn't me.
Rachael: Well, I didn't fart.
Trevor : Hm, maybe it's these bubbles. (from the bubble bath)
Rachael: I went to the bathroom, but I flushed the toilet.
Trevor: Are you sure you flushed the toilet?
Rachael: Yes!
We just overhear the silliest stuff sometimes. Had a good day. Willie did great in his crate while we were gone. We had friends over and everyone had fun playing. We went to Lake Fairfax where Willie walked VERY well on leash in about ten minutes, then tore around the lake while the kids dug seaweed out of it. It was a good day.
