Colleen

I am home with the kids this afternoon instead of at church.  Emily has a headache and sore throat, Colleen had a fever yesterday and a sore throat today, and Kate - well, Kate got to stay home to take a nap.  So, I thought I would distract Colleen from her whines to play computer games, by writing about her.

Here are some things she likes to do:  "Some stuff, a lot of stuff, really.  Play with Kate.  Go on 'cations.  Clean up, play with my bear-bear, stories.  That a little bit of stuff."  Direct quote obviously.

This afternoon we were sitting in the front room and she asked me what the room was called.

Me:  The living room.
Colleen:  What 'bout that room? (pointing to the room with books and the computer)
Me:  The Library (because Brian prefers library to computer room)
Colleen:  It not have people in it!  It not library.  It our house!
Me:  It has lots of books in it so we call it the library.
(I think there was a bit more discussion on this point, but I forget what was said.)
Colleen:  What this room called?
Me:  The living room.
Colleen:  Why?
Me:  Because we live in it.
Colleen:  We live in that room, that room, that room!  (pointing to various rooms)  We live in whole house!

She got me there.
