From the Mouth of Babes

Pic of Kate's modeling shoot on my phone from last Sunday in an outfit she fashioned and accessorized all by herself. She definitely has a point of view in fashion.


So tonight, Kate and I went to Target to pick up new laundry soap and various birthday gifts for the coming weeks' parties. After checking out and getting all our stuff loaded in the car, Kate asks me the most profound question (and I was laughing and smiling inside). Here is our conversation...

K: Mom, what are my responsibilities?

M: Huh?

K: I know Daddy has a job and you have a job but what are mine and Matt's jobs? How do we get paid?

We proceeded to discuss making a chore chart and what would be on it. But what in the world made her think of that. No idea. So next week we are making a chore chart and decorating jars to put marbles in for being good, even mommy has to have a jar, according to Kate.

Kate has been on one with the profound talking and just plain thinking of the weirdest things. Another conversation we had recently went like this...

K: Mom, what is shirt n health?

M: What is the world are you talking about?

K: Shirt n health. It's a protective layer that covers your skin and protects you from getting sick or hurt. Do we have it?

M: (finally figuring out what "shirt n health" was) Oh, Assurant Health. No, honey, we don't have it. We have other insurance through Kaiser.

K: Why don't we have shirt n health?

M: Daddy's job gives us insurance and Assurant Health is for people that don't have insurance at their jobs.

K: Does our insurance protects us?

M: Yeah, kind of.

She is obsessed about Assurant Health and everything it offers people and why we can't have it. I just love this age. Such funny observations and thoughts. Such great conversations. Just love my little girl.
