On getting old...

Maya and I were having a conversation about what 'old' and 'older' mean. I explained that the longer it is since you were born, the older you are.

Maya: "I don't want to get older"
Me: "Why not? What do you think happens when you get older?"
Maya: "I don't know - what does happen when you get older?"
Daddy interjects "You get wiser!"
Me: "That's right - you learn more and more things and it's fun to learn new things"

Maya: "I think I'll just learn one thing and then I won't get older"

Monster burgers weren't a huge hit

We had a whole Halloween weekend menu planned. Maya chose the food herself and was very excited to make and eat it all. Baked eyeballs... hot dog mummies... a black lagoon and more! Pictures of everything will follow :)

Tonight, we had monster burgers. Maya was messing around with hers and not really eating it. S asked her why she wasn't eating her food.

"I AM eating it. I'm just not very impressed with it."

Oh dear!
