a morning of strange conversations

This is what we talked about on the way to preschool this morning.

Evelyn: I love you, mommy.
Me: I love you, too.
Evelyn: I will love you when I'm dead.
Me (thinking): why are we talking about death?
Evelyn: When I die, and then you die and Andrew dies, we will be together.
Me (thinking): yes, but, again--why are we talking about death?
Evelyn: And when Daddy dies, he can be with us too!

I didn't know three-year-olds could be so morbid.

A few minutes later . . .

Evelyn: I wish I could be water.
Andrew: You don't want to be water. People might throw sticks on you.
