Maddy and I were in the car today and the following conversation took place.
Maddy: Remember when there was that roach in my room and Uncle Larry killed it for me?
Me: Yep
Maddy: I said (very high pitched whiny voice) "Uncle Larry, come help me there is a roach in my room!".
Me: You sang opera to Uncle Larry about the bug in your room?
Maddy: No!! But I guess I could have.
Me: Would have been funny if you did.
Maddy: The bug in my room scared me, it sounded like someone was scratching on my wall.
Me: MMMM..OK
Maddy: Do you know the sound I am talking about? Did you ever have a roach in your room?
**Now I have to be careful how I answered this. If I say no, then every noise for the next 3 weeks that sounds remotely bug like I will have to stop and listen to see if I have ever heard that noise before. If I say yes, then at the worst time possible Maddy will say "Hey Mom why don't you tell them about having roaches in your room!".
Me: I guess I know what you are talking about, I suppose at some time I had a bug in my room making noise.
Maddy: Did you get Banma to come and kill it for you?
Me: Nope, I took care of it myself.
Maddy: Did Banma know you were killing bugs? Did she hear you kill it?
Me: I don't know! You are asking me questions about things that happened thirty years ago.
Maddy: Hmmmm...and you said you have a good memory!
Me: Hey girl, why are you in my car and who are you?????
Maddy: Mom, *sigh* it is me I am your daughter. *Silence* You are really weird Mom.
LOL
