Yet another memorable conversation with Ava in the car.
The setting: driving home an hour past bedtime. She notices other people out driving, riding bikes, etc.
Ava: Is it our bedtime?
Me: Yes
Ava: Do other people have our bedtime?
Me: Well, some people have a later bedtime than us. But, remember, I'm not their mommy.
A few seconds pass, Jeff and I begin to speak at the same time.
Jeff: So if you feel bad about anything....
Me: Feel bad that I am not their mommy!
Ava: You can be their step-muvver.
Jeff and I praise her for being cute and creative: Awe, that was sweet, Ava
A few seconds of silence, the perfect amount, really and.....
Ava: Step muvvers be bad.
Jeff and I laugh so hard we cry. Okay, maybe I only cried. But still.
