Career Day

Last night was our one night out for supper. It's just me and the kids so you know it has to have a drive thru or delivery service. I let the kids pick and they chose Burger King which, for girls, has the Pinkalicious theme (which is one of Lauren's favorite books). Anyway, the toy was a little magic star wand that lit up when you pushed the button on the handle.

This is an actual conversation between me and Lauren last night...

Lauren: Mommy, look at my pwin-cess wand.
Me: I know. It's beautiful.
Lauren: Yes, you push da button and it wights up!
Me: Uh-huh. Are you going to be a princess when you grow up?
Lauren: No, I be a doctor!
Me: That's right!
Lauren: You buy me books to be a doctor?
Me: Yes, but don't you have to go to school, too?
Lauren: Yes, I go to Wittle Wambs Pwe-school.
Me: Yes, you will be going to preschool in the fall.
Me: But can't you be a princess AND a doctor?
Lauren: No. Me da doctor. Ella da prince.
Lauren: Look mommy! (As she puts the lit end of the wand in her pants.)
Lauren: My underwear isn't dark anymore!
Me: Yes, Lauren. Take your princess wand out of your pants.
Me: Lauren, how can Ella be a prince? I thought only boys were princes.
Lauren: Silly mommy. Boys are pirates!

Oh, to be two again.
