I've been had a handful of these in the archives:
Setting: The kids and I were discussing what we were going to do for the long weekend.
Mom: Hey, you guys. How about walking the falls again?
Tarren: What falls?
Mom: You know.. The Elk River Falls.
Tarren: No, we've already seen those falls.
Mom: How about the Palouse Falls? We've never been there.
Trent: How about Twin Falls?
Mom: Sorry dude. That's in southern Idaho. We aren't driving that far.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting: Tarren was watching me get ready for my work day. Her bedroom is across the hall from the bathroom. I had bent down to pick up the brush I had dropped and both my knees and ankle popped.
Tarren: What was that?
Mom: That was my knees and ankles popping. That's what happens when you get old.
Tarren: You aren't old. Dad's OLD!
Mom: What do you mean "Dad's old"? He's only 6 months older than me.
Tarren: Yeah, I know. He's thirty this year. That's OLD!
It's nice to know that I have about 9 more months until I'm OLD!
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setting: I was getting Caitrin ready to go to daycare. I was talking to her about her older siblings getting ready to go to school.
Caiti: Do I get to go to school with them?
Mom: No, sorry babe. Not this year.
Caiti: (*WHINE*) So when do I get to go?
Mom: Next year. When you turn 5.
Caiti: (*WHINE*) It's taking FOREVER to turn five!!
She is in such a hurry to grow up, it kind of breaks my heart.

Love the things that kids say! :)
We are in Ltown this weekend looking at daycares; I saw a peewee football game this morning at Bengal Field and thought about you.
We definitely have to grab coffee when I move up here.
I would love that. My nephew had a game at 8am then Trent had a game at 3. We've been at Bengal Field a few times today.
