Yes, Like from Shrek

The title? Words I need to learn. The following? An excerpt of the conversation between Zander (Z), the hairdresser (HD), and myself during Zander's last hair cut:

HD: What's your name, sweetie?

Z: (quiet) (not real excited about talking to strangers, generally)

Me: His name is Zander.

HD: Zander, do you have any pets?

Z: (moving head like crazy) Yes! A puppy!!!

HD: A puppy?! How neat! What is your puppy's name?

Z: Fiona.

HD: Oh, what a pretty name! Fiona like from Shrek?

Z: (confused blinking; if it's not a character from Star Wars or Cars, he probably doesn't know it)

Me: No, Fiona like from Shameless.

HD: (distracted as she cuts hair) Oh, okay. (Moment of silence followed by startled eye contact.)

Me: Not that he's ever seen Shameless! His dad and I named her!

What fun things have your kids (or you!) said recently?

  3. Nikki has random moments of wisdom. We're not sure where they come from but they are always interesting. The other day as I was getting her out of the van she looked at me and said: "Mommy, when I have a baby come out of my tummy, will you be a grandma?" Yeah...pretty dang insightful for a 4 year old! lol
