Idaho and other thoughts.
A few months ago, I sat busily working at the kitchen table while the girls, off track at the time, played Playmobile all around me.
(Playmobile is a BIG deal around here and playing it means we can't cook, eat or walk around the kitchen for at least 2 weeks. We are typically very hungry during any Playmobile season. That I managed to carve myself a spot at the kitchen table to work is nothing short of a Playmobile miracle.)
so anyhow...kitchen table, working, surrounding by plastic, Brynn sidles up to me.
B: "Are you workin'?"
L: "Yep."
B: "I feel bad for you that you work so hard."
L: "Don't feel bad, working is fun."
B: "No, you need a vacation. We should go to Idaho."
L: "Why Idaho?"
B: "You know - way to go, Idaho!!" (classic Christensen family joke)
B: (lays her head on my shoulder, 3 second pause in conversation) "You know, I haven't had potstickers in a while."
L: "Potstickers made you think of Idaho?"
B: "No, why? [excited gasp of wonderment] Do they have potstickers in Idaho???"
L: "Well, you just said you want to go....you know what nevermind."
B: "Love you Mom, have fun working." (resumes making plastic farmers talk to plastic cows.)
And scene.
