a kindergarten concept

Today, a rather interesting question was asked of me:

DeeDee: "What's happening to all the grass around here?"

Me: "Uh, what do you mean?"

DeeDee: "Well, it's like...brown. Why is it all turning brown all of a sudden?"

Me: "Oh. Because it's summer now. The sun is out...you know, and there isn't as much rain? So the grass is dying..."

DeeDee: "Weird. I've never heard of that. Are you sure you know what you're talking about?"

??!!!?!?!?!?!?!?!

Sweet Mary...

Sadly, it seems some people only exist to serve as a terrible waring to the rest of us.

are you sure?!!... i've never heard of that either! :) what do you mean it... DIES?! you should have said that the grass had just gotten it's summer TAN from the sunshine. you know, like how we get tan if we are sitting out in the sun all day, like the grass does! i bet you a hundred dollaz she would have totally bought that! you could have even gone out one day and started rubbing sunscreen on the grass. when she asked what you were doing, you could have told her about your campaign against grass cancer! oh, the possibilities are endless it appears!

What is up with this child? Has she not experienced all four seasons yet or is she just forgetful of what happened to the grass last summer. Kindergarten is the only time when it's supercute to be that way. At any other time she'd just get a "what the hell is wrong with you" look. She better enjoy it now.

Gabe and Dee-Dee

THAT, I think, would be
the funniest thing EVER.

holy crap. Start writing a book, NOW. Something titled "Why Drugs are Bad...A Case Study" or maybe "I Told You Not to Marry Your Cousin!". These people could seriously make you a rich woman. All you have to do is change the names. Just make DeeDee a singular Dee. She will never know.
