Child's Play

James and I played house again this weekend. Our two little nieces came and spent the weekend. No, we didn't make them help with laundry -- they were too busy picking up leaves in our backyard.
It's amazing what kids will do when you say things like "I don't know if you are big enough to help bag leaves" or "I bet sissy can put leaves in the bag faster than you can."
My nieces are smart and they always say something that makes me think:

While driving to our house, i sent James a quick text message to tell him the girls and I were headed that way.

My 5-year-old niece: Aunt ReRe, how are you driving with one hand?
Aunt ReRe: I'm not driving with one hand.
My 5-year-old niece: Yes you were. Your phone was in one hand and the other hand was driving.

BUSTED! Who would have known that my niece was the youngest opponent of texting while driving?

But i got her back. She's learning to read and likes to look out the window and tell me what things say:
My 5-year-old niece: Aunt ReRe, i want to go to McSonic.
Aunt ReRe: McSonic? I don't know where that is.
My 5-year-old niece: There is it. (she points over to the sonic as we drive by it)
Aunt ReRe: That's not McSonic, that's Sonic.
My 5-year-old niece: That's what i mean.
Aunt ReRe: Well, i didn't know that's what you were talking about and now it's too late cus we already passed it.
