Overheard again
Time for another round of real-life conversations. All are transcribed exactly as they occurred, I promise.
Really, I couldn't make this stuff up if I tried.
Beth, to her sisters, as she sets the table for an imaginary meal: Hey guys, time to come! Dinner's almost ready! My magic's making it!
(why doesn't magic work when it's MY turn to make dinner?)
Lucy, in character as an extremely ferocious unicorn: We are setting a trap now, guys! We are setting a trap to catch the humans!
Beth, to me: Mom, does "not right now" actually mean "No?" Because I asked you if I could play computer games a long time ago and you said "Not right now," and you still haven't let me play computer games.
Lucy, to Beth: Please, Beth, can I be your husband?
Beth, to Lucy: No.
Lucy: Please???
Beth: Ohhhh, okaaay...but most of the time I make my husband stay outside.

Oh hilarious!! My favorite is the last one, of course. I just read them to Jason and he laughed out loud - a rare (and coveted by me) occurrence.
Your girls always make me laugh! I always think my kids are imaginative and hilarious until I read what yours are saying. :) Thanks for the giggles.
Hilarious! Simply put, they crack me up! And yes, "not right now" does mean no most of the time! :)
LOL So... does Beth learn her husband treatment from you? :)
Outside! That's brilliant. Thanks for the great idea, Beth!
