Heard on the Way to a Playdate

We were driving to a playdate the other day and I was telling Minnow where we were going. "We're going to Collin's house to play," I said.

She responded from the backseat: "Play nice?"

"Yes, play nice," I said.

"Share?" she responded.

"Yes, share please." I replied.

At this point, I am smiling to myself, I'm getting through to her I'm thinking. I feel like I'm raising a nice little girl who will play nicely with others, I'm feeling kind of good about this. Until. . .

The next thing I hear from the little voice in the back seat is: "Push?"

I guess I have a few more playdate lessons to teach.

Go Away Snow!

These are the words that I hear from the little person in the back seat of the car when we drive past a park. She sees the sad-looking playground equipment all covered in snow and yells, "Go away snow!" Now if only the snow would listen to her.
