The little lies we tell ourselves

Before lunch today:

Rowan "Can I have a popsicle?"
Me "No, we haven't had lunch yet"
Rowan "I am feeling kinda sick, sick to my stomach"
Me "You are?"
Rowan "Yes. I am feeling kinda sick. I might need some popsicle to help me feel better"
(The kids usually only have popsicles when they are sick...she clearly knows this and was trying to use it to her advantage!)

At dinner last night:

Rowan, picking the yellowish string end off her sugar snap pea "I am allergic to yellow things"
Me "You are???"
Matthew "What happens if you eat something yellow"?
Rowan, looking very serious "I will die"

Oh the imagination this little girl has!
