Every chance she gets, she will rush headlong into the shop and stand in front of her little glass cage, making funny faces, jumping around and going "Awwwww...Coochie coochie coo".
She has christened the dog Leelo, tells me she wants to take her home and implores me to buy her. I tell her i have no money, and that she should go ask Daddy.
This is the conversation that ensued tonight.
T: Daddeeeee, i love Leelo...can u puhleaze buy her for me?
D: How much does Leelo cost?
T: Err one thousand...errrr five hundred and sixty...no eighty
(Im behind hubby, silently mouthing the words for her, she definitely doesnt know the concept of how much money this is)
D: Do you know how much money that is?
T: Not alot! You have money right?
D: Haha...how about we sell Baby away, then we can use that money to buy Leelo? What do you think?
*Terelle is stumped for words. You can literally see the cogs in her brain whirring furiously*
D: Yup if we sell baby away, he will go live with someone else, but they will give us money so that you can buy Leelo. You want that?
*More silence as she ponders the consequences of that option*
And then the clincher...
T: How bout you sell him away when he is grown up!
Hubby and I almost rolled off our chairs laughing...her loyalty to her brother only extends after he is all grown and has exhausted his usefulness of entertaining her!
Great insight on a kids' thoughts...hahaha...
