Reasons to Like Four Year Olds (7)

While a couple of my boys were playing in the kitchen center, I asked, "Can I have some food?"  He answered, "This is not for you, madam."

I Cried

I cried for you today.
You broke my heart in pieces.
I used to trust you as a friend.
I used to trust you as a sister.
Now I can't.

I cried for you today.
I still love you.
But do you love me?
Everything you told me now
Seems to have been a lie.

I cried for you today.
You were there when
no one else would dare.
But now we just exist
in two separate worlds.

I cried for you today.

On Thursday, tape recorded a book I read to the kids.  I played the tape back to entertain them while I was cleaning up after lunch. This is the dialogue that happened as a result:
Child 1: Ms. Brenda are you talking?
Me: Yes, I'm talking. The tape recorded me talking.
Child 1: See! I was right, she is talking.
Child 2: No, she's not talking right now.
Child 1: Yes she is!
When the recording stopped I heard this:
Child 3: She's not talking in there anymore.  She's dead!
Child 2: (with a very serious face) She's not dead! She's right there.
Child 3: No, she's dead in there. She's dead in the radio.
Child 2: No, she's not.  She's not dead.
