A peek inside Addi's head

Addi lost her tooth on St. Patty's Day ... the tooth fairy didn't come. That dang tooth fairy's memory is really going. Addi decided that since it was St. Patty's Day, the leprechauns had depleted the gold supply. She said "The tooth fairy probably couldn't find any gold!" Whew! I'm so glad she's so in touch with the world of make-believe... because I certainly am not!

Another interesting conversation we had this week...

Addi: Mom... look! That lady is smoking in her car.

Me: Yep, she is.

Addi: Well, you know that's her choice. We all have a choice.

(At this point I start to feel impressed with her ability to recognize the free agency we all have here in this earth)


Addi: You know... if Daddy gave me a cigarette for my birthday... I would just

Me: (Interrupting her) Addi! Daddy wouldn't ever give you a cigarette for your birthday!

Addi: But if he did... I would just throw it away!

Me: But I hope you know he wouldn't.

Addi: But if he did... I would just throw it away!

(about 30 seconds goes by... and I decide to try and spin this into a jr. high situation she can prepare herself for)


Me: Well... I guess that's good. You know, someone will someday offer you one, and you can just say "no thanks".

Addi: But I don't want to make Daddy feel bad. I'll just throw it away later.

Me: (deep breath) Okay.
