Conversations With 7 Year Olds

The boys have officially made the switch from birthday anticipation to full out Christmas anticipation. That little Thanksgiving holiday in between the two is a mere inconvenient blip on their radar.

Anyway, tonight we played "Christmas present", a game in which blocks are ceremoniously presented to the recipient and "opened" by being knocked over. The recipient then guesses what the present held. I am apparently HORRIBLE at this game because I could never guess correctly. Take this exchange for instance:

Me: "I don't know what was in my present, then. What was it?"

Him: "Hair supplies."

Me (laughing): "Oh, do I need to do something to my hair?"

Him: "Well...no. Your hair is nice, but if you ever want to pretty it up some, these will help."

Me: "Um...thanks?"

Him: "You're welcome."
