conversation with the girl

girl: "Mommy, remember when I loved cheetos so much I wanted to marry Chester Cheetah?"

me: "Yeah, and Kool-Aid man was going to come..."

girl: "I love these hash browns so much, I wanna marry Mr. Dell when I get big."

me: shaking my head because Mr. Dell is a real person, and continuing to shake because I should have seen this coming with the girl going through a bag of hash-brownie-browns a week by herself! "Sweetheart, you can't marry Mr. Dell because the original Mr. Dell passed away, and the current Mr. Dell is married to sister Johnsen, and is old like your meemaa. Maybe you can just be his friend."

girl: "Really? I know Mr. Dell? Why didn't you tell me that before? I LOOOOOOOOVE his hash browns! You have to show him to me."


She has also taken possession of the boy's Mr. Dell semi and keeps her favorite toys of the moment in them. The girl is just a little bit obsessive about her food, and potato products have been the latest. She has given up her bag of chips a week for a bag of hash browns a week. What a goof!
