the other day, in the pool, the kids were imagining their futures. here's what they came up with: lionel will live in our house, ralph and cecelia will live next door in susan's house, her pets will all live with lionel and ralph will help care for them.
mom: (knowing that, in this scenario, jonathan and i are in a "home") where will susan be living?
ralph: oh, susan? she's dead.
last night, jonathan and cecelia were discussing weddings and dresses (a result of watching TLC: 'my big, fat, gypsy wedding' and 'say yes to the dress' marathons in our hotel.) as she was pondering getting her dad's approval on who she marries, jonathan told her he would help her with a down payment on a house, the smaller the wedding, the bigger the down payment = bigger house.
cecelia: i'm having a small wedding and making all the bridesmaids pick out and buy their own dresses.
same conversation:
cecelia: dad, who were your groomsmen?
jonathan: my friend, ned (cecelia snickered at the funny-sounding name... i still do, too.) uncle rob, and uncle andy.
cecelia: oh, so mommy had aunt mollie, aunt jen, and ...aunt jess?
jonathan: no, mommy and i hadn't really met aunt jess until that weekend.
cecelia (scandalized): what??!?! hadn't even MET aunt jess?
she couldn't fathom a life without aunt jess. :)
