Lately she has been asking "Tell me all about _____." My boo boo, the dinner, where I went shopping, bugs, pocket lint, lather rinse repeat.
Tonight's conversation began about the days events, meandered into learning about dinner and kosher. Then she hit me with:
"Ima, tell me about the whole world." She says, leaning forward with interest like any good interviewer would.
My response was naturally lots of eye blinking. "That's a big topic with lots to talk about. Where should I start?"
I patted myself on the back for keeping the lines of communication open while simultaneously directing the conversation to a narrower scope.
"Start from the beginning. Tell me everything" Of course, that's logical . . . .
And this is why dinner conversation over sweet and sour hot dogs and rice was about the creation of the world and G-d's plan.
Awa is a 4yo chatterbox. It's genetic, definitely from my side of the family. She can create a lengthy conversation out of thin air, changing topics mid-sentence, firing away like a pinball racing around it's machine. I understand this, I am also like this, it still drives me crazy. It's definitely always good for a laugh.
