Songs in the Key of Life.....

Overheard from the backseat:

EFP: Mommy what's that?

M: It's a pond with a fountain!

EFP: A pond with a fountain? Are there duckies?

M: Yes, there probably are some ducks.

EFP: Mommy what's that?

M: It's another pond with a fountain.

EFP: Oh My God! That IS another pond with a fountain all right!

*I unintentionally left this part out earlier - so this is the rest of the conversation

M: Did you hear this at school? From your teacher or a friend? Who says Oh My God, EFP?
EFP: I do Mommy
M: EFP, do you know who God is?
EFP: Yes
M: Who is God?
EFP: Daddy (I can assure you having been married to him lo these 10 years - he most certainly is not.... but it is nice that she thinks so.)

Same Backseat - different kid!

EBB: Mama?

M: Yes, EBB

EBB: Mama, EBB So Happy!

Overheard in the kitchen:

EFP: Mommy, chocoate pudding makes me so happy!
