A conversation between Victoria and me as I was rocking her tonight:
Mommy: Are you excited to see the Easter Bunny tomorrow? (with excitement in my voice)
Victoria: Well...not really (very slow and hesitant)
M: Why?
V: Mommy, isn't that just a person in a costume?
M: What makes you think that?
V: First off, his eyes are twice the size of my HEAD (then tries to demonstrate how large that really is)
M: Hmmmm (Mommy is thinking how to explain this) that does seem weird.
V: Is that huge bunny going to come into our house? (with a worried tone)
M: Of course not honey. How could that big bunny hop around here and not wake us up?
V: That's what I thought. That's just a person in a costume and the real bunny will come into our house. Right?
M: Yeah, that's pretty much right. But it's rude to talk about somebody in a costume you know. (She can't blow it for her brother and the rest of the kids in line.)
V Obviously I have to pretend he's real or I'll hurt his feelings.
She's figuring things out very quickly. Even thought I don't want there to, she better lose a tooth soon or she's may figure something else out.
