car conversations

Topic: Eden's first loose tooth. Don't worry,sometimes it takes days or even weeks to fall out. Addie(7), "The tooth fairy is REALLY smart. She knows just when it comes out." Topic: moon. Did you see the full moon last night? Eden(5), "How does it say up theya?" Addie, "Some people think it's made of milk." I heard cheese. But then neither can be true since there are no cows up there. Only the ones that jump over. Addie after thinking for a while, "I know. It's made of moon rocks." Good answer. Topic: Eden's best friend. "I'm weally sad. Hope Candle left and she fuhgot huh pilla AND huh favwit pilla case." We've heard about Hope Candle since the first day of Kindergarten. I thought what a sweet little name. Eventually I discovered "Candle" is Eden's version of "Campbell". "She went to California on an airplane and Mrs. Petahs (Peters) said she goes to a new school. I miss huh. I thought we would be friends forevah." Her first sad loss of a forever friend who was only there the first half of kindergarten. Addie, "She must be late to school all the time if she has to fly all the way to California every morning." No comments from lucky Caleb who was playing hookey that day to go fishing with mama!
