Stephanie & Madeline
I overheard the following conversation this morning between sisters Stephanie and Madeline (& mum), respectively aged 3 & 4:
"I'm a daughter."
"NO! No you're not!"
"YES I AM."
"No, I'm a daughter. Not you. Only one of us can be a daughter. You're just Stephanie."
"NO! NO! MOM! MOM! WAAAAAAAAAAAAA. MOM! I WANT TO BE A DAUGHTER BUT MADELINE WON'T LET ME!"
"You're both my daughters. You're sisters and daughters."
"I'm a sister."
"NO! No you're not!"
"YES I AM."
"Girls. Please stop. Stephanie, what would you like to drink?"
"APPLE JUICE!"
"I'm apple juice."
"NO! No you're not!"
...please feel free to fill in the blanks...
I absolutely adoreonly cute and bright children preferrably if they're a little fat.

I love the minds of children.
I remember a similar conversation with my niece when she was 4 as she struggled and failed trying to grasp the concept that her father was also my brother.
HAH!! Awesome. Kids are awesome!
Lisa I also have a neice who couldn't "get" it until she hit maybe 5 years old. It was really fun to tease her about it.

The stranger thing is that many adults have just as much difficulty grasping and communicating with one another. The sad truth, really.
This reminded me a little of my own family - long ago :)
You've put a huge smile on my face.
