Riding in the car

Mady- Mom, are dinosaurs real?

Me- they were

Mady- but they aren’t anymore?

Me- they are all dead. its called extinct

Mady- :::with a really sad tone::: oh, I really want to see one alive

Me- oh, no.. they are all dead.. and alligator is pretty close to a dino

Mady- no, they are to little

Me- well, an elephant is big

Mady- but it isn’t tall

Me- giraffes are tall

Mady- but they are not long

Me- oh.. I don’t know then..

3 days later:

While watching a movie (instead of having nap time)

Mady- mom, are mermaids real?

Me- no

Mady- :::in a really sad tone::: I wanted to see one

Me- you did?

Mady- yea, I have been waiting my WHOLE LIFE to see one

Me- me too Mady.. me too!
