Seafood Shop vs. Pet Shop

After work I picked up Kira and told her we were going to The Seafood Stop to pick up crabs for dinner.

Kira: Daddy, what’s The Seafood Shop?
Daddy: It’s called The Seafood Stop and they sell seafood. We’re going to eat crabs tonight for dinner.
Kira: We’re going to see all the sea animals there???
Daddy: I guess so? They’re not alive though because they’re cooked so people can eat them.
Kira: But they have any alive animals?
Daddy: Maybe….. we’ll see.

(Pull up to The Seafood Stop)

Kira: Yayyyy we’re here to see the animals!
Daddy: Yup we’re here to buy the crabs now! They might have shrimps and fish too!
Kira: Oh goody!

(Walk inside the store and Kira yells at the top of her lungs…)

Kira: THEY’RE ALL DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The ladies behind the counter start laughing and try to console her, “Sorry hun, we don’t have any live ones right now. Maybe if you come in the morning we can show you some live ones!”

Kira: I want to go to the Pet Shop NOW.

Random Conversations in the Car

On the way home from picking her up today…

Kira: I talked to Grandma on the phone yesterday.
Daddy: Yeah you did! Wasn’t that nice?
Kira: Yeah it was! I like talking to Grandma. When I was a little baby I sat on Lola Luz’s lap and she tried to carry me.
Daddy: You remember that???
Kira: Yeah I do! I do remember!

———————————————————————————-

Daddy: Kira, what do you think about going to pre-school?
Kira: Ok!!!! I want to go to the Montessori school, I like that school!
Daddy: Ok, well we can look at other schools too.
Kira: But they’re not a good fit. Montessori school is a good fit!
Daddy: (lol) We’ll see Kira… We have to look at other schools too! You’re excited huh?
Kira: Yes I am! I can’t wait to go to school, it’s going to be so much fun!
Daddy & Kira: YAY!!!!!

Oh Lord…. She’s talking about marriage.

Kira was looking through our wedding album and had some interesting things to say.

Kira: Mommy is married to you daddy?
Daddy: Yes we are married because we love each other so much.
Kira: But I’m going to miss youuuu!
Daddy: Why??? We’re not going anywhere! We’re going to stay with you forever.
Kira: Ok…

(a few minutes later I hear her say to herself…)

Kira: When I get married I want mommy and daddy to be with me.
Daddy: Awwww Kira that’s so sweet! Of course we’ll be with you!!!!
Kira: Nooo, no, no, no, no! (laughing) I didn’t say anything! 😀

Cutting Nails.

While getting ready to go to a party…

Kira: Daddy, what you doin’?
Daddy: Cutting my nails.
Kira: Why you cuttin’ your nails?
Daddy: Because nails grow.
Kira: Nails don’t grow, people grow!

(about 5 minutes later)

Kira: How time you cut your nails?
Daddy: Do you mean what time, or how long?
Kira: How long time to cut your nails?
Daddy: Kira, say “How long will it take to cut your nails?”
Kira: How long in time to cut your nails?
Daddy: ……..(sigh)…. A few minutes, Kira.

Random questions

The past few days were spent at home with Kira between jobs and the follow are questions she asked when she woke up from her naps. I guess you could say they might give an idea to what she dreams about.

Kira: Daddy, when you a little boy did you go on the climbing wall?
Daddy: Yeah sometimes.
Kira: Oh.
———————————————————————————-
Kira: Daddy, when you a little boy did you have a wock collection?
Daddy: Yeah actually I did.
Kira: Oh.

Bribe gone wrong.

Kira and I have been sick for the past few days and I had to give her medicine this morning. She knows that it doesn’t taste that great, but she never has any problem drinking it. The other day she actually said she liked it because it tasted like candy. Well, this morning I tried to bribe her and she won.

Daddy: Kira it’s time to take your medicine now.
Kira: No0ooo I’m fine!
Daddy: No, we’re still sick and we have to take our medicine. Come on, I’ll give you another tattoo. You can pick whichever one you want from your tattoo book.
Kira: OK.

(10 seconds later)

Kira: And you give me one chocolate, and one lollipop too.
Daddy: OK

Needless to say, she took her medicine and luckily forgot about the tattoo and candy by the time we went downstairs! 🙂

One is more than none, right?

Today we went to Arianna’s third birthday party and they were throwing candy out for the kids. Kira managed to get one little baggy of orange, Batman gummies. She wasn’t very happy.

Kira: I really grumpy Daddy.
Daddy: Why?
Kira: Because. I only have one candy.
Daddy: That’s good! All the kids have candy, everyone is sharing. One is more than none, right?
Kira: No.
Daddy: Yes it is, one is more than none.
Kira: Nooo it not.
Daddy: Well then what’s more than none???
Kira: A lot. A lot of candies.
