Words of Wisdom

Madeleine's Words of Wisdom for the day:

MADELEINE: Mama?  You know how when the CD skipped you said "Uh-oh!"
ME: Yeah?
MADELEINE: Well Mama.  Let me tell you something.  The music skipping ISN'T so bad.
ME: Oh, yeah?
MADELEINE: Yeah.  Mama.  Let me ask you something.  What would be worse?  The music skipping, or a BRICK falling from the sky and hitting you on the head?
ME: Definitely the brick.

That was not a random selection of options or anything. 



Julia's Words of Wisdom for the day:

JULIA: Mommy?  Why aren't people allowed to go in the Egyptian pyramids?
ME: I think you can go in some of them, but most of them are closed to tourists.
JULIA: But that's not fair.  I really wanna go in a pyramid!
ME: Do you know that historians still aren't 100% sure what the pyramids are meant to represent?
JULIA: Maybe they're for worshipping the dead.  Or for worshipping their ancestors.
ME: Something like that.  But it's still kind of a mystery.
JULIA: Wait!  Mommy, I just had a great idea!  You know those "A to Z mysteries?"  I wanna write one called "Penguin in the Pyramids."
ME: Oh, that sounds interesting!


Definitely a better idea than Pharoah in the Pyramids, or Python in the Pyramids, because everyone knows that penguins exist in abundance in Egypt, right? Or MAYBE that's the whole mystery.  How on earth did a penguin wind up inside an Egyptian pyramid?  Oooh, now I can't wait to read it!
