Money maker

For the second time in her life a total stranger came up and gave Lucy $2 just for being cute. Does this happen to other people's children?

Love has many forms ...

Lucy: When I grow up I want to marry Annie.
Me: Well, you can't really do that.
Lucy: Why not?  You said girls can marry girls now if they're in love.
Me:  That's true, but you can't marry your sister.  That's called incest.
Lucy:  No, you said incest is when people in the same family have a baby.  We can't have babies!  We're two girls!  I want to marry Annie!  I love her!

Not sure where to go with this one ...

Baby it's cold outside

Listening to our local Christmas radio station in the car, we made it until about 20 second from the end of "Baby it's Cold Outside" when suddenly Lucy bursts out, "What's this about? The haven't even said Christmas or Jesus or anything."  How very astute of you, Lucy.  I suppose 5-years-old is too young to use this as a teaching moment for consent.

Introverts & Antonyms

Lucy got lost in Target yesterday.  After a frantic five minutes of me calling out her name, a Target sales associate starts walking up to me, holding Lucy's hand.
Me:  "Lucy?  Where have you been?  I was worried."
Lucy: "Don't worry mom, I found an employee and told her about all my latest dentist visit."
Introvert is the antonym of Lucy.

Love makes the world go 'round

Lucy: I love you more than daddy loves you.
Me:  That's impossible.  I love daddy so much that we made you.
Lucy: No.  Your love didn't make me.  A sperm made me.  What I still have to figure out is how that sperm got inside you.

Oh you sweet little know-it-all, that lesson is for another day.
