While having family dinner last week we decided to put on X Factor because typically A loves shows where kids dance/sing etc. Willow Smith happens to be on stage performing and A says with the casualness of an old soul;
"I used to dance like that when I was a kid...."
Me: " When you are a kid??!?"
A: "Yeah, when I was a kid..."
Me: "Then what are you now?!?"
A: she looks right at me, raises her brow in shock at my question and says; "A Toddler!"
aah.... silly me.......

Hubs and I are new fans of the pandora app on our iphones. We are plugging in some favorite artists from the 90's to reminisce when an old Blue's Traveler song comes on. Hubs says "Remember this song? When was the last time you heard this song?"
A chimes in.... "Oh yeah. This song reminds me of me and mommy..."

Here's the heart breaker....
While eating lunch in our eat in kitchen, out of the blue A says;
A: I would be so sad if I didn't have a mommy......
I am baffled and running through every show and movie she has seen to warrant this thought! Coming up short I ask:
Me: Who do you know that doesn't have a mommy??
A: Well.... Nonni (my mom) doesn't have a mommy.... and Abita (hubs' mom) doesn't have a mommy.......
Me: Everyone has a mommy but some people's mommies are up in heaven.
A: I would be sad if I didn't have one....
T E A R........
She baffles me every day just like I am sure your children do or did when they were small and began to uncover the truths in this world. I still am unsure why she said this out of the blue and I am sure at some point in the near future the truth of where this came from will reveal itself but for now I am just gonna relish in the sweetness of it all....
