Slice of Life Day 3
Cailin ran into the house, dropped her back pack on the sofa and raced towards the door. "Where are you going?" I asked.
"Next door to play with Alex," she replied.
I sat back down at the kitchen table and continued talking to my girlfriend about what little money we have left in or 401 k's, the state of the nation and other weighty topics. All the while, my six year old daughter and the little boy from next door ran through the kitchen, out the back door, around the house and through the kitchen again.
On their fourth revolution I stopped them and asked what they were doing.
"We are playing cowboys," Alex stated as he looked up at me.
"And I'm the cow," Cailin added, figuring that if he was the boy the only other option was the cow.
-The innocence of childhood!

Too funny! I love her logic. It's so perfectly ... logical! And she's just adorable, too.

I love the cow comment and it reminds us how kids see the world, and our language, in different ways, from different angles.
