Special moments of the week

Nina: Why did the dog cross the road?

Me: I don't know. Why?

Nina: Because the sign says dogs are allowed to go on the street!

Me: Is that supposed to be a joke?

Nina: Yeah! And there are people in the road and they will bump into the dog, and then they will say, "What are you doing in the road, dog!" Ha ha ha ha ha!

Me: Uh. Um. Ha?



Me: Did you have fun at gymnastics today?

Nina: Yeah. (Shakes her head sadly) But Joshua and Moosie (her two favorite toys) didn't have fun because they had to stay in the diaper bag.

Me: I've been working on the railroad, all the live-long day!

Nina: Stop singing!

Me: Don't you like my singing?

Nina: No! And if you keep it up, you're going to get a time out!

At the dinner table.

Nina: It's a joke.

Me: What's a joke?

Nina: My dinner.

Me: Thanks.

I got Nina a balloon for Valentine's Day.

Nina: A balloon! It says "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Me: No it doesn't. It says, "I love you."

Nina: No, it says "Happy Valentine's Day!"

Me: No, it says, "I love you." See, here is the letter "I," and then this heart means...

Nina: IT SAYS "HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!"

Me: OK, if you say so.
