Butterflies and Mermaids

This morning the conversation in the van went something like this:

Oksana: "Peep Peep" "Mommy guess what I am?"

Me: "A chicken?"

Nikolai: "A bird?

Oksana: "Nope" "Nope"

Begins to flap her arms. "I am pink"

Me: (thinking to self: no idea, but pink of could be so many animals-lol)

Nikolai: "A plane?"

Oksana: "Nope I am a butterfly and pink!"

Nikolai: "Oh" pausing in deep concern, "I thought you wanted to be a Mermaid?"

Oksana: "My mommy is a Mermaid"

Nikolai: "Oh"

Me: thinking to myself- The conversations between a three and seven year old can be so very interesting, even when about absolutely nothing!
