The girls and I were running our surprisingly few errands on Saturday afternoon. Usually we’re trying to get everywhere, do everything, and save the world – but for some reason, all we had to do was run through the drive-through at Walgreen’s. [Sometimes I think that if I didn't make my inevitable Walgreen's run one week, they'd send out a Missing Persons report for us.] But that’s not really the point. The point is that we weren’t hurried and despite having gotten little-to-no sleep, my girlies were in great moods. We were stopped at a red light next to another car when I heard:
Bee: Look, Mom – those kids are eating ice cream! In their car!
Me: That is crazy! I would never do that – it would be waaaay too messy.
Bee: I know! It would get all over the place. Right, Gwacie?
Gracie: Ohmygosh! That looks so messy! I bet they live in a trailer.
Me, not knowing how to correct the impression that trailer-living=trashy: Um….
Gracie, oblivious my pause: <sigh> I wish I lived in a trailer, Mom.
Perhaps so she could have ice cream in the car? Yes, let’s go with that.

I used to hate it when my kids would say stuff like that because you never know how to answer.

Maybe Gracie was just using logic and thought anyone who lived in a house that could also be a car would think nothing of eatting ice cream in a car because they could in the trailer which was their home and car…yes?
