Sari says the coolest things

These are interesting days. Sara is asking a lot of questions, although she doesn't always have the patience to listen to the answers. This totally saves us from having some of the conversations we are not quite ready to have, and allows us to think about the answers. If she asked it once, she will ask it again, and, chances are, we will be prepared to answer.
On one of our long drives to somewhere, we passed Beverly Hills court house, and C pointed out to her "Julie and i got married there". She asked: "Why did you get married?" and then "Where was i then?" We told her we got married because we loved each other and wanted to be a family, and that she was close by, really close. That satisfied her for now, but, we have to be prepared for more, that's for sure!
We also have been hearing some funny quotes and conclusions from her. When C was taking his AutoCAD class this week, he told her he is going to school. She asked "So, if you are going to school now, are you turning into a kid?" C replied, "i wish" :)
Another little line that always amuses me is when she reminisces: "when i used to be a boy, i watched Tomas the Train". Or, "when i used to be a little squirrel, i used to eat acorns".
She also enjoys hearing stories about what she used to do when she was a baby. If i start remembering something, she will always ask for more: "and what else did i do?" We can go on for a while telling stories about her being a baby. I don't remember ever being interested in my own baby stage, and actually got a little annoyed when my mom tried to share those memories with me. So, this is really surprising for me to hear. Another thing that i understood: the reason why parents sometimes enjoy talking to their kids about those times, it is not because a baby stage was so pleasant or exciting, but it is because it coincided with the time of their lives when they were young, newly married, full of illusions and hopes, a beautiful time to be treasured. Now i can relate....It is funny how many things we can relate to once we go through similar experiences...I only wish that this body of knowledge could be useful to someone. We gain wisdom we can't make use of ourselves, so we have to find a way to pass it to the next generation somehow. I will be trying.
