Yesterday in the car, Campbell and I had another one of our fun conversations.
C: Mama, when were you a baby?
H: About 40 years ago.
C: 40 years??? That’s a long time ago.
H: Yes, yes it is. Do you know who my mommy is?
C: No. Who?
H: Gran is my mommy.
C: Gran is your MOMMY?
H: Yes she is. And do you know who my daddy is?
C: Who?
H: Grandpa is.
C: Grandpa is your DADDY? When you growed up did you live in another world?
H: Well, no. But I did live in my own house. And when you grow up, you’ll live in your own house, too.
C: I will miss you if I do that. I think I’ll go live with Gran and Grandpa.
H: Ok. You can do that. I’m sure they’d love to have you live with them.

When I told B about the conversation, he asked who Campbell thought Gran and Granpa were – just random people who showed up once in a while to give him presents?
Given the way his four-year-old little brain works, that’s probably exactly what he thought.

Anytime, Bubble. You can come here any old time! And stay as long as you like!
I love it!! Random poeple who show up with presents is totally cool. That is awesome!!
I love it when their little brains click in like that. And I want random people with presents, too.
My kids had the hardest time with the concept that their aunts and uncles were our brothers and sisters. Plus looking at old pictures - every picture of my husband was identified by my youngest as "me!"
I love blowing their little minds like that!
Awwww. I miss conversations with my kids at that age. So sweet and innocent.
I love these moments with little ones... kids DO say "the darndest things". Great post. I am now a follower and hope you will stop by and say hello

Aww bless. I once tried to run away to go live with my Nana but my mother wouldn't drive me so I didn't make it past the front gate.
