Yesterday evening we went on a little hike by the reservoir near our house. It's quickly becoming a favorite summer spot.
Daddy: Look at how the shadow from the sunset is making a line on the trees.
Edee (in genuine fright): Ah! Oh no! A lion!!!
Chicken: Lion! Lion!!
Me: No! There's no lion!
Chicken: Lion!
Daddy: A line! Not a lion! A line!
Me: Liiiiine. Liiiine.
Both kids were still skeptically peering through the trees to make sure no lion was getting ready to jump out at them. I don't think we had them completely convinced.
Oh noodles.
"Edee" and "Chicken" are nicknames for my two little rascals. The names originated from how my daughter would pronounce both her own and little brother's name when she first started talking. They've stuck. Chicken may live to regret that someday....
