Yesterday Morning
So after the eventful night of Monday, I had an interesting conversation with my 5 year old neighbor girl yesterday morning. We head outside to see the kids off to the bus and leave for work. The following occurs...
Girl: "Our car broke."
Me: "Your car broke?"
Girl: "Yeah, our car broke. So, my mom said that we have to share yours."
Me: "Your mom said you had to share ours? But, she borrowed your dad's van."
Girl: "Yeah, but she doesn't like his car. So, we're just going to have to share yours."
Me: "Well honey, we can't share ours right now because we have to go to work. We only have one car and we're leaving."
Girl: "I know, but later mom said we'll have to share with you."
Me: "I don't think she said that. Head on home or you'll be late for school."
Girl: "Well, she doesn't like his car and she wants to share."
Me: "I have to go to work. Smile pretty for school pictures today, okay?"
Girl: "Okay, bye."
Interesting, huh? I know she's fibbing because any time she uses the phrase "my mom said" it's a fib, but I still got a good chuckle out of it. I'm not sure what all took place. I talked to the mom yesterday afternoon, but she didn't volunteer any information so I wasn't going to push for it.
