Ada: Will you please look at the clock? The clock that shows you the weather?
Me: The thermometer?
Ada: Yes. Will you tell me what it says?
Ada: When we’re with Grandma and Grandpa, and you’re not with us… we still have to make good choices but we have different rules.
Grace: Oh no! I forgot my camera!
Ada: Well, we can turn around.
Grace: No we can’t, we’ve been gone for an hour!
Eli: Actually, we’re half way there.
We were exactly nine minutes into our 4.5 hour trip.
Grace: We have to wear green tomorrow for St. Patrick’s Day!
Ada: Well…we don’t HAVE to.
That’s my girl.
Grandpa asked Ada to do something for him…
Ada: Can’t you just do it yourself? I’m not your maiden.
She then proceeded to do it for him.
Ada: I want a cuckoo clock, and I don’t know what one is.
Me: Then why do you want one?
Ada: For a reason I don’t know.

I’m curious. If the choices have to be good, how can the rules be that much different? Well, I mean except for bedtime! Wouldn’t you just love to get inside of that little 6 year old brain? Life would be so much simpler!!!!!!!
Love you!
Grandpa
Well, just because there IS a rule doesn’t mean they are going to follow it at either house! 🙂 The world through Ada’s eyes must be a wonderful (yet black and white!) place.
