Conversations with Miles





Miles: Mama, why do I go to school every day?

Me: So you can learn important things like the ABC and about Dinosaurs and the Universe. And so you can play with your friends every day.

Miles: But I already know everything.

Me: Oh, you do??

Miles: Yes

Me: Ok, do you know what letter CAT starts with (I know that this is a hard one for him since C sounds like a K)?

Miles: (looks at me with big eyes while he recites CAT and tries to figure out the sound of C). KKKKK.....it starts with K!

Me: no Miles, it starts with a C. See, you still have things to learn.

Miles: Oh.

********************************************

Miles: Mama, when I grow up I want to marry Melodie.

Me: Oh you do?

Miles: yes.

Me: well, Melodie is your sister and people don't marry their sister.

Miles: why not?

Me: eh, we just don't.

****************************************************


Miles: Mama, will I live in this house when I grow up?

Me: what do you mean grow up? you mean when you are a Papa?

Miles: yes, when I am a Papa.

Me: well, you will probably live in your own house with your family.

Miles: Will you and Papa and Melodie live with me?

Me: Not sure. We will probably live in a different house.
