Funny Dinner Conversations

The girls are getting older and it has become a really fun activity to ask them questions that show some of the maturity they are gaining, but also still elicits child-like responses from each of them. 

The best part is that each daughter answers the questions in very surprising, and yet entirely characteristic, ways. Their answers fit perfectly with their birth order and show off their unique personalities.

Here are some of the recent convos we've had:

June 8, 2020

At lunch today I asked each daughter who they would call if they were in trouble or needed to talk when they're older and living out of the house.

Eldest and Middlest daughter both responded with, “Well, it would depend on what I needed help with or what the problem was.”

Youngest daughter said, “Like if there was a high chandelier and our clothes got stuck on it then we would call daddy for help!”

(For some background, we have a landing that overlooks a downstairs hallway and we keep the girls laundry basket on the first floor. They toss their laundry over the banister to get it into the laundry hamper. There is also a chandelier hanging in that space that frequently catches shirts, socks, and underwear - daddy is always sought for his help rescuing those items.)

At lunch today I asked each daughter whether they thought daddy and I had a favorite child. And then asked who they thought would be our favorite if we did have one. Here are their responses:

Eldest daughter: Well, you SHOULDN'T have a favorite! I don't know who would be your favorite.

Middlest daughter: No. But if you did it would be “Eldest daughter” because she doesn't lie.

Youngest daughter: Yes. (Nodding her head enthusiastically and pointing at herself) It's MEEEEEEE!!!

If you know my children at all then none of these responses surprises you in the least.
