Didn't Expect This So Soon

Me: Where's your sister, Elaine?
Nicholas: Um, Idon'tknow. Gone!



Me: What's wrong with Alida?
Benjamin: Um. Idon'tknow.



Then we broke out the Halloween stuff this weekend for something to do.
Me: What's that?
Nicholas: Um. Idon'tknow.

(Okay. That makes sense.)




Benjamin: Mommy, ghost! (pointing to his plate)
Me: How do you know what a ghost is?
Benjamin: Um. Idon'tknow.
Me: Really. Where did you learn what a ghost is?
Benjamin: Um. Tractor.
Me: The tractor told you what a ghost is?
Benjamin: Yeah!
Me: Um. Okaaaay....
I think every conversation for the next 20 years will contain an Idon'tknow.

All your children are beautiful, but that picture of Elaine at the top, Awesome!
Cute little skirt, sippy in tow under the arm.
She is absolutely adorable!

She does look as if she's on a "baby catwalk."

I'm sure "I don't know" will turn up in lots and lots of conversations around your home. Especially ones that start with "Who did that?":)
