I want a fish, please!



Today, I met a man at Jason's work who has 4 or 5 kids and is adding another one through adoption (from China). So that made me think about Wren and how she very well might be an only child and I started to feel a little guilty about it. So then I had the following conversation with Wren in the car:

Me: "Wren, would you like to have a little sister?"

Wren: "Nooo."

Me: "Would you like to have a little brother?"

Wren: "Nooo."

Me: "Well, what would you like to have"

Wren: She thinks for a minute and says, "Ummmm.....a fish?!"

I love how kids think. I hear fish are a bit easier than little brothers and sisters. :)

I asked my daughter the same thing, and unfortunately for her, she said she wanted four big sisters. It's a little late for that!

Glad I found your blog!

She's one smart cookie...she knows a fish won't fight her for her toys!

Well, at least she's honest and now you can stop feeling guilty. :)

That's classic. A fish! Who needs a brother or sister when you could have a fish! :)
