a mind like an elephant
(Apparently, elephants have amazing memories.)
I think this a generalized statement for all kids. The Husband and I are slowly realizing that we can’t get much by Peanut. She remembers a lot!
A while ago, we made a trip up to the Bay Area Discovery Museum. While in the habitot area, Peanut made “friends” with another girl her age, Mackenzie. They played and played in the indoor area. Peanut was so attached to her, that where Mackenzie went, as did we. So attached, that Peanut started bawling when we left Mackenzie for another exhibit.
Ever since then, Peanut tells me that she wants to go to Mackenzie’s house to play. I have to explain to her that we don’t have her phone number, so we can’t call her (to arrange something). Peanut, then, smartly suggests, that we go back the museum and maybe Mackenzie will be there.
It doesn’t stop there, though. Peanut knows her birthday is coming up, so she asks me if I’ve invited Mackenzie. Again, I reply that we don’t have her phone number, blah, blah.
I just hope that she doesn’t become one of those stalker-types.
