Tonight's kid quotes
Jun. 13th, 2009 09:20 pmAlissa lost a tooth at bedtime. She said: "Abba, after havdalla, will you send the Tooth Fairy an email so she knows my tooth is in my tooth box under my pillow? Hey, how will she get under my pillow?"
Me: "She's a very very small fairy."
Alissa: "No, she's not. She's a person. She's Josh and Dinah's mother."

We've been reading Lord of the Rings to the kids as a bedtime story for the last few weeks. Tonight we got to the bridge out of Moriah. I expect them to be upset, but Tani said with certainty, "Gandalf isn't dead. We didn't see him actually die, and he's too important a character to be killed off in the first book. We're just supposed to think he's dead." Kids these days are just too media-savvy.
