What's in a Name

It's been about a month since our cat died so today, we decided to take a chance and bring home a new cat to keep our lonely feline, Rudy company. The cat has pretty much been hiding out all day and my kids are busy trying to figure out what to name her.

"What about Raven?" says Rebecca.

"Absolutely not," says Darin "That show drives me nuts."

"Okay. What about Rosie?" she offers.

"Rudy and Rosie sitting in a tree k*i*s*s* and k*i*p*," sings my four-year-old who obviously has a spelling problem.

"How about Gracie? That's a nice name!"

"Boring."

"Okay - I've got it. What do you think of Pussy?"

Containing my laughter, my husband looks at me and counters, "I've got no problems with that one."

The Meeting and Other Quips from a Four Year Old

Dylan is sitting at the dinner table when suddenly sounds start emanating from his stomach.

"Mommy, I think there's a meeting inside my tummy."

"Oh really. What do you think they're having a meeting about?"

"They're picking out what I should order."

Later that day...We're attempting to put together a 37 piece contraption that's missing a few pegs and I'm getting really frustrated and about to abandon the project, when Dylan grabs a piece of paper and exclaims.

"Mommy, why don't you just follow the constructions."
