Lilly has a lot of talent. She may never be the head of NASA, but she is constantly surprising me with her humor and creativity.
Today has been all about cheese, because Terry had a large amount of cheese two days ago to sell because a pallet tipped over in the truck and the receiver refused the cheese in that pallet. So, now that we have managed to sell a significant amount of the cheese and things have calmed down, the kids show the effects.
Lilly is on a roll this morning. First, she is delivering cheese/ operating a game show?
Lilly: Mom this cheese is for you.
Me: Thanks. How much do I owe you?
Lilly: 50 bucks
Me: Ok, here you go (wave hand in her direction. That is how she pays me).
Lilly: Thank you. And since you paid me, you won this.... piano. (shows me toy piano)
Me: Thank you. Why don't you hang onto the piano for me.
Now that the intriguing cheese scenario has been handled, it is apparently time to get philosophical. Her powers of perception are going to catch me soon, I have no doubt.
Five minutes after the cheese game show conversation:
Lilly: Mom, when we do bad stuff, who is going to watch us?
Me: What? What do you mean?
Lilly: Who is watching us right now, the Easter Bunny or Santa Claus?
Me: Oh. Santa Claus. The Easter Bunny only watches you close to Easter, but Santa is watching year-round.

Bert's new baby
Bert let me know today that she and Dale are having a girl. At bedtime, I realized I had not yet shared this info with Lilly and Dylan.
Me: Guess what Aunt Bert told me today?
Lilly: What?
Me: Aunt Bert is having a girl. So Brit is going to have a little sister.
Lilly: And we get to go to the hospital.
Me: Why?
Lilly: To meet the baby
Me: No, the only kids that can go to the hospital are the baby's brothers and sisters, so Brit can go to the hospital, but you and Dylan can't.
Dylan interjects: So Aunt Bert and Brittany are both having a baby?!
Me: NO. Brit is going to have a little sister, like you and Lilly have Harper as a little sister. Aunt Bert is the only one having a baby. She is having a girl.
Lilly: So we are going to their house.
Me: To meet the baby? (Lilly nods). Yes, you will have to go to their house. But it is going to be awhile before Aunt Bert has the baby. They just found out it is a girl. She isn't ready to be born yet. She will be born after it is summer, after we go camping and see fireworks.
Lilly, with eyes lit up: I like fireworks.
Dylan frowns: I'm scared of fireworks.
....
30 minutes later, Lilly comes downstairs.
Lilly: I think Aunt Bert is going to name her baby Cinderella.
Me: I doubt that very much. Goodnight.
Lilly goes back to bed.
I filled Bert in on these exchanges and told her that is why I let her fill my kids in on the important stuff in her life. They aren't quite as goofy when she tells them.
