With Material Like This....

I should blog everyday!

Riley has been asking a lot of questions about college.
Passing a construction zone and flagman, the following conversation takes place.

Me: You could get his job if you don't go to college or you could dig ditches.

R: I'd like to dig ditches.

Me: You wouldn't make much money.

R: Well, I'd get two jobs. Digging ditches and working at McDonald's.

Me: That'd be ok, but I really think you are going to want to go to college. It is work, but it is a lot of fun too.

R: How is it fun? Do they have a playground? Because that would be fun.

Riley offered to read a book to Reagan. To which Reagan asked, "Do you know all the words?"


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

Reagan (crying): My eye water is coming out!

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

Reagan (calling me back in after bedtime): I had a bad think. I prayed about it and it didn't work. I don't want to take it to God.

While Riley and I were discussing how tall and big he will get and the fact that I have stopped growing:


Me: Usually kids stop growing around 18 years old.
Riley: And that's when people start Weight Watchers?
****************

After someone commented on how tall she is:

Reagan: But I don't want to be a giant!
***************
Me: Reagan, do you want to take gymnastics or ballet or dance?

Reagan: I want to do nothing. I want to go to the stores (shop) with you.

*She is taking gymnastics, by the way!
