That's my kid

[resonant]

Kidlet's best friend Phoebe came over to trick-or-treat last night. I always think the kidlet is a terribly girly kid, but Phoebe leaves them in the dust. Phoebe is definitely going to be sorted into Sparklypoo. A conversation, overheard while they played with Polly Pockets. (These kids are both almost seven.)

PHOEBE: Let's pretend that I'm going out on a date with Sam -- this is Sam -- and you're going out on a date with Jeffrey -- that one can be Jeffrey -- and you come home from the store and I'm not ready and you say, 'What are you going to wear? Let's wear something that matches!' and I say --

KIDLET: Hold on a minute. I'm training a flying horse.

edited 2019 to retroactively correct the kidlet's gender pronouns

I didn't make up Sparklypoo House, though I'd love to claim it -- it comes from a brilliant Harry Potter comic (http://piratemonkeysinc.com/ms1.htm) by GMonkey.
