Apparently Edee-the-four-year-old is already thinking about her future quite extensively. I can't even think of the last time there was any mention of college, but she has had lots of questions about it before. Judging from this conversation I overheard her having with Chicken, it's safe to say that she is looking forward to growing up and moving out.
Edee (excitedly): Chicken, when you go to cah-yedge (college) you will yearn how to cook, and you will yearn how to sew, and you will yearn how to shower, and how to be kind. And how to climb a ladder, and hold your beff under water. And how to use da potty yike a big boy! And dere are yots of udder kids your same age and no mommies and daddies dere. And dere are classes in a lot of buildings, in Idaho! Den you will go on a mission and grow up and go to work, dust yike daddy. Does dat sound good, Chicken?
Chicken: Yeah.
I'm so glad she already has this vision in mind and has the same sights for her brother. We just got to keep it going for another 15 years...
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....
