Kids say the darndest thing

My kids are very used to seeing little piles of shed dog hair piled up in the corners of the house. No matter how often we brush the dogs, sweep or vacuum, the hair is a never ending battle.

(We have one dog (smokey) and one cat (Tigger) who should be on hair loss treatments, we also have a smaller dog, Sammi, who sheds very little even though she is a long haired dog).

I was busy sweeping the kitchen and hallway and took the time to get the broom under the stove and under and behind the fridge as well as opening the closet doors going downt he hall gathering the hair that often gets left behind.

My niece, Krysta was following behind me and as the pile of hair grew and grew and grew, her face got more and more concerned. Finally she asked me "Aunty, why is your dogs throwing their hair all over the ground?"

It was hilarious.

Better still, later int eh afternoon I asked her if she wanted to color, and when she told me yes, I asked her *What* she wanted to color. She told me Dora so I Google'd Free Dora coloring pages and clicked the link. I don;t think she has ever seen a printer print anything so she was overjoyed as she watched the first page come out, and as it finished she reached to get the paper, but i told her to wait, there was more. She looked at me, confused, and asked "Is the colors coming out now?"

I love this age. From two to about six, kids are the cutest funniest thing in the entire world. They see things SO differently!
