Conversation with the kid….
…cuz if I had a convo like this with a character, I’d lock myself up.
So, there’s this internal joke about rubber duckies (I had to buy one for my daughter’s friend) and while there, I found a pirate ducky. She’s THE biggest Johnny Depp/Captain Jack fan I know so it was a no brainer that el pirate duckie was coming home with me that night. I got it in the baby section, so it has one of those heat sensitive disks on it, to change color if the water’s too warm. Tonight she IM’s me with the following:
Daughter: Mommeh
Mom: yes
D: I’m back from meh shower…
D: And the ducky works! The bottom (where it says “HOT”) does turn white when it’s really hot
M: you kill me
D: Hey, it had to be tested somehow. What better way that taking a rubber ducky-shower!
M: yuh huh
D: It was quite fun. My ducky is quite a great pirate on the high seas
M: o.m.g.
D: Are you laughing at me?
M: you betcha
D: figures
D: It’s your pasttime
M: you’re clever
D: I am clever. Like a goldfish.
D: I get a smart idea, then 2 seconds later, it’s gone.
D: Most call it short-term memory loss.
D: I call it Goldfish. =]

Goldfish, rubber duckies and pirates on the high seas. That’s a 16 yr old for ya. (okay, she’ll be 16 in less than a month… close enough)
ETA: Daughter had an irritated eye from her contact. Very bloodshot. This convo happened while I was posting the ducky stuff…
D: So today
D: There’s this one person
D: who came up to me
D: And asked if I snorted up one nose and didn’t the other.
D: So now I have two noses.
She’s SUCH a goldfish.
