Wednesday

My 2 1/2 year old could write better dialogue than some of the crap you hear in huge-budget movies.

The other night I was giving my daughter a bath.

She has foam letters that she plays with in the tub, so when she asked me to hand her one I decided to turn bath time into lesson time. Here's how the conversation went:

Ophelia: I need the purple one.

Me: This one?

Ophelia: Yeah.

Me: You know what this is?

Ophelia: Yeah.

Me: What is it?

Ophelia: I don't know.

Me: It's a letter.

Ophelia: Yeah.

Me: Do you know which letter it is?

Ophelia: Yeah.

Me: Which letter is it?

Ophelia: The purple one.

    I laughed so hard and so long it kinda feels foolish to comment now the laughter has finally ceased...

    Wait. No wait. Nope can't top that. Still laughing. Heck I might smile all day. Thanks for such a simple lesson, taught by a 2 year old. Maybe she could be a guest speaker at a film school.

  4. That's a great story. She's a natural story teller. I'll be keeping an eye on her career in filmmaking.
