Conversation with M

Our, soon to be, 5 year old is quite a chatty little girl. Tonight we went out to dinner and these were some of the things she discussed.

First, I asked if she would like some carrots (we were at a buffet).


M said "No."


I said, " They're good for you. They help you see well."


M said, "I don't need them, I already see good. I can see things far, far away."


Later on, just she and I were sitting at the table and we were talking about our baby that is due soon.


M asked, "Who made you?" (speaking of me)


I said, "God did."


M said, " I thought your mama and daddy did." (Really I have no idea how she knows anything about this. Aside from the fact that our baby is in my belly, I'm baffled)


I said, "The bible says that God knit you together in your mom's belly. That means he made you in my belly." (After a conversation of what 'knit' meant - I should've chosen a different word.)


M said, "How?"


I said, "I don't know - he just made us."


M said, " Did God make earrings?"


I said, "No, I think someone else came up with earrings."


M said, " You?"


I said, "No"


M said, "Grammy?"


I said, "No, earrings were invented a long time before Grammy had them."


M said, "I think Eve invented them."


I said, "Maybe Eve invented them. M, who were Adam and Eve?"


M said, "Christians"


I did correct her and tell her that Adam and Eve were not Christians, but I just wanted to record this whole conversation to remember it all."
