Mostly Today

Faith is at that age where she likes to experiment with words. Only I don't think she thinks she's experimenting. We went to Pojos for a one-on-one on Saturday. She ended up getting a "glow-up" ball (that's one of those rubber balls with a face and something inside that makes them light up). The term is one coined by Kate a while back. She also got two very small stuffed bears.

When we came home, she said to Kate, "I mostly got these today"

Today in the car with Suzy, she said, "Hey Mommy, I have a riddle for you."
Suzy: "Okay, let's hear it"

Faith, "What grows in Water and is daddy's favorite."

Now, to understand how Faith does riddles, you have to realize that what she asks, and the answer don't always have to be entirely related. or related at all.

After Suzy had guessed multiple things that both grow in water and other things that I like a lot (steak, basketball etc) she finally gave up.

In this case however, the answer somewhat made sense. Watermelon!

Suzy decided to then tell Faith a riddle. What can sense hot or cold and tell you if something is sweet or salty. Faith thought for a moment, before decisively stating
"A Flamingo!"
Suzy laughed and then gave a clue. "Faith, it's part of your body"
Faith, again with all the confidence in the world, "LEGS!"
