Say WHAT?!?

It's great to be able to hold an actual conversation with your children, but sometimes the weirdest stuff comes out of their mouths. Here's two absolute gems from Elena.

planning dinner, two days ago:
"Daddy, Elena, do you want burritos or BLT's?"
"Want B-U-T-T's, Mommy!"
"BLT's?"
"No! B-U-T-T's!"

getting ready to shop for a baby gift:
"What do you think Cynthia's baby's name is?"
"Hen(g)ing..." *sly mischeivious grin* (she likes to garble/make up names)
"The baby's name is Henning??"
"Yup!"

Cynthia, she's absolutely convinced that the baby's name is Henning. She was so excited to go shopping for Henning, to pick paper for Henning, to write her name for Henning. If you've already got a name, we'll get her straightened out eventually. If not, it's actually quite a lovely name and you're welcome to use it if you like it.
