Real Conversations with a 2 year old

Driving home from dinner, she spotted the big fat almost full moon low in the sky. Part-way home, it disappeared (behind the trees).
“Where did the moon go?”
“It’s behind the trees over that way.”
“I want to see the moon again.”
“Well, it’s behind the trees, but later when we’re driving we’ll be able to see it again.”
“I want to see another moon.”
“I’m sorry, sweetheart, there’s only one moon and we all have to share it.”
“Well, I’m two years old, so I want two moons in the sky for me.” [1]
{Stifled laughter erupts in the front seat.}
“Sweetheart, there really is only one moon for everyone. It’s the same moon for all of us.”
“Well, there should be another one.”

Priceless. Her delivery was flawless, too.

[1] This comes from our DD strategy, whereby we only buy Munchkins, and the accepted practice is that since she is 2 years old, she gets two Munchkins. When she turns three, she’ll get three Munchkins. I know, it won’t last forever, but I figure that buys us a couple more years of not having to giver her a whole donut yet (too much sugar, and much messier in the car).
