Darwyn has been obsessed with her birthday since Max's birthday last year. She asked me daily how long it was until her birthday. I told her that her birthday wouldn't happen until well after Christmas to stop her pestering me and that worked, but now that Christmas has passed she is back at it. Today she started up again while we were in the car:
Darwyn: Mom, how many days is it until my birthday?
Me: Oh, I don't know Darwyn, two and a half months?
Darwyn: No mom, how many DAYS is it?
Me: I guess 70 or 80 days.
There was a long pause while Darwyn thought about this. She must have concluded that this was far too long for me to be being serious.
Darwyn: NO MOM! That's so long....we will be dead by then!
Hmmm....I was hoping to last a little longer than that. Good thing the working of time is not left up to three-year-olds.
