Oh, Nellie.

Tonight at dinner, Kevin and I were discussing a potential 30th birthday party. After a couple of minutes, Nellie interrupted.

N: Could you guys stop talking about that?

Me: Stop talking about what? [I was a little worried that she didn't like that we were quasi-arguing. Kevin does not really want a party.]

N: That boring thing.

Kevin and I found this very funny, but it was also kind of rude so we were trying to laugh subtly. Which made it infinitely worse.

N: Mommy? What's wrong? Are you crying?

Me: No, I'm laughing!

N: Daddy? Are YOU crying?
------------------------------------
After dinner, we went to the Grand Ledge Christmas parade, where Nellie yelled "Merry Christmas!" and waved wildly to everyone in the parade. Because she thought it would make them throw candy. It worked.
------------------------------------
On the way home, Nellie wanted Kevin to tell her about the story where she, Robynne, and Leah go to the zoo and then they eat seeds and then in the morning they eat breakfast and they fall in a hole and then a mean dragon comes.

K: Nellie, that's a really good story! You already told the story!

N: I did NOT tell a story. I didn't say "once upon a time."

Unrelated, Kevin just suggested we sign up for eHarmony to see if they match us up. That might be because we are still up at 12:30, because we drank very large cups of coffee at the parade.
