All of our conversations seem to happen in the car…
Nik: “Mom, can we get in a rocket and blast off to the moon?”
me: “Well…maybe you will, one day.”
Nik: ” There’s nuffink on the moon. It is empty.”
me: “Actually, there is something on the moon…the American flag.”
Nik: “What?! Who put it there!?”
me: “The first man who walked on the moon…Neil Armstrong.”
Nik: “Who was the second man?”
me: “I don’t remember…” [I'm so embarrassed...and I used to be such a space nut]
Nik: “He remembers.”
me: “Yes, Nik….I’m sure he does.”

Nik: “Mom! A caterpillar is a worm and then it goes into its house and then it becomes a butterfly!”
Me: “That’s right, Nik…a caterpillar is a worm, and it spends its first few days eating and eating until it becomes really full and fat. Then it makes a home for itself called a pupa. It stays there for some time, and then it breaks its home open and when it comes out…”
Nik: “It is a BUTTERFLY!”
Then, “The caterpillar is a TRANSFORMER!”
Wow. Just…wow.

Anjali: “Me too! I yuv wain! I yike puhpul wain!”
I guess you can never be too young for Prince…
