Typical Conversation

When you have a four year old and a two year old, conversations can get pretty crazy...and nonsensical.  Here is one example of the typical, topsy-turvy way a conversation happens in our house.

Vinae: Gibson, take that bag off your head.  NOW!
Gibson: Why?
Vinae: I don't want you to suffocate.
Gibson: What's "suffocate"?
Vinae: It means you can't breathe, and then you die.
Tabitha: I don't want to dive.
Vinae: You don't want to dive?
Tabitha: No (shakes head emphatically)
Vinae: Ok, you don't have to dive.
Gibson: I want to dive!  Into a swimming pool that doesn't have any sharks.
Vinae: I've never seen a swimming pool with sharks.
Gibson: Where's your short fishing pole?
Vinae: At Gramma & Grandpa Tilson's house, if it's still there.
Gibson: Will you teach me to fish some day?
Vinae: Yes, some day.
Tabitha: Ohhhh!  I'll miss you. (gives me a pout and a hug)
Vinae: Where am I going?
Tabitha: Fishing.
