Early Evening Conversations

So we're sitting in front of the TV watching the riveting "Drake and Josh" on Nickelodeon when a commercial comes on for "Polar Express." Liv decides she needs to let us know we already own the movie by jumping up and down and yelling at the TV, "We know, We know." Simultaneously, the three of us begin expressing our love for this awesomely awesome movie and so, of course, I throw out the comment that Ms. M, next door, does not like this movie at all. And Livvie, Ms. M's biggest supporter (because M can do no wrong in Liv's eyes) declares, "Oh my gosh, she really is an alien." I cracked up, causing Noah to ask, "Mom, how did you always know she was an alien?" I run down the short list: she doesn't enjoy chocolate or songbirds or newborns or "The Polar Express." How can she possibly be human? Noah, looking thoughtful, nods and says "She must not have told Mr. C before they got married. Otherwise, he wouldn't have married an alien. That's weird."

Is there anything better than random conversations with your kids? :)
