I just wanted to share a recent conversation I had with my 4 year old niece Brooklyn.
Me: So Brookie, what do you want Santa to bring you for Christmas?
Brookie: A dog, a snake, a parrot and a mice.
Me (siezing the opportunity to be wise and condescending): And what do you call just one mice Brookie?
Brookie: .....Fred.

I think that was the most perfect answer to a question I have heard in many years.
Epic fail for me, completely owned by a four year old.
So much for my wise and condescending intentions.
The mouse/mice conversation will have to wait for another time. Although now that I think about it, she probably already knows about all that and was just having a bit of fun with me.
Love ya Brookie!
Merry Christmas everyone!
