Conversations with a 4 year old....

So I once again got a tiny peak into how the mind of a 4 year old works, while getting the girls dressed the other morning....

Emma: "Mommy when is this house going to be old?"

Me: "What do you mean? Why?"

Emma: "I mean when is it going to be old so we can move back to Grandma Bobbie's house again?"

Me: "Emma we aren't going to be moving again. This is our house forever now. We just stayed at Grandma's house while we were getting ready to move in here."

Emma: "Well when is that other guy coming back."

Me: "What other guy?"

Emma: "The one who lives here?"

Me: "You mean the one who used to live here? He isn't coming back. He sold it to us so we could live here and then he moved to a new house too."

Emma: "Oh".....(with a frown on her face)

So all of this time she thought we were just house sitting for the other man and soon we would be moving back in with Grandma and Grandpa??? I guess when you spent your first year of life at their house while Daddy was in Iraq, and then another 2 months while waiting on the new house......it could start to look like when you're not sure about things the default is just move back in with Grandma and Grandpa! Oh my!
