Friday was a long day. Nellie didn't have school, so we declared it a stay-at-home pajama day, which always seems like a better idea before you actually spend 14 hours in a house with active kids. When I put Annie to bed, she told me she wanted me to go to bed at the same time. I responded (probably with a sigh) that I needed to stay up for awhile and have some grown-up time. Meaning homework and TV, of course. Annie said, "can't you and Daddy just drink coffee in the morning?" At first I didn't understand, and then I almost laughed out loud - she equates grown-up time with drinking coffee.
Later that night, Nellie needed some cough medicine. As she watched Kevin pour the syrup, she thoughtfully asked, "so...how does the bottle know whether you're a kid or a grown-up?" Kevin explained that being kid-proof doesn't mean the bottle can tell the difference, you just have to be a grown-up to know the trick about how to open it. She tried to convince him to let her in on the secret, but he wouldn't budge. :)
