Hmmm
Duchess and I were carpooling together yesterday on our way home from work/preschool....Me: Did you have a great day honey?
Her: Yep, I didn't hit anyone
Me: Good job.....
Her: (interrupting) Do I get M&M's?
Me: No
Silence.........
Me: (Singing to the radio)
Her: Mommy I see something in the sky
Me: An airplane?
Her: Nope it's a spaceship
Me: weather balloon?
Her: Nope, it's a spaceship
Me: No, it's not
Her: Yes it is
Me: No, it's not
Her: YES, IT IS
Me: it's rude to yell
Her: it's rude not believing me.....
Me: huh? Who said?
Her: ummmmm it's a spaceship
Me: Do you know what's in a spaceship
Her: aliens
Me: huh?
Her: scary green monster aliens
Me: no, it's not
Her: uh-huh
Me: no, it's not, no aliens, no monsters, no spaceship
Her: I'll ask daddy
Me: (sigh)
Her: He knows all about aliens.......(blah blah blah, ongoing conversation that I kinda blocked out)
Later in the evening as The Man is under the hood of his truck and the thought occured to me:
Me: Do you know all about aliens......?
Him: huh? Pass that socket, no not that one, that's a wrench, the socket by your left hand, no not that one, the other left.....thanks........um aliens?
Me: yeah aliens
Him: no, but I did read our coffee table book on conspiracys, it was in there
Me: yeah? I missed that
Him: why?
Explained the conversation with Duchess......
Him: Huh, well why do you tell her that crap?
Me: huh? Not me, I didn't tell her that
Him: damn gossiping preschool know it alls........I hate when she talks to her friends about crap
Me: well that pretty much covers it
