Little Thoughts

Andrew came to me in full Pirate regalia and said:

Andrew:  Mom, can you put my pirate hat on so I can get married?

Me:  You're getting married?

Andrew:  Yes, I need my pirate hat on.

Me:  Ok, come see...I'll help you.  Who are you marrying?

Andrew:  Natalie

Me:  Natalie?

Andrew:  yes, Natalie

Me:  ok

Andrew (without skipping a beat):  I was in the castle, and there was a witch, and I shoot her, and I killed her, and I cut her, and I ate her...in the castle.

Me:  you ate her?

Andrew:  yes, in the castle.

Me:  *trying not to laugh*  what did she taste like?

Andrew:  the witch?

Me:  yes, the witch

Andrew:  she tasted sour...I ate her in the castle

Me:  wow...ok

Andrew:  Now, I have to wait for Natalie to come back so we can get married...

Not sure if this is exactly a healthy use of his imagination, but it was still pretty funny.  The whole time we are having this conversation, Rachel has pulled up on the side of the chair that I am sitting in, and is going:

Rachel (while continually patting me on the leg):  mom, mommy, mom, momma, mommy, mom....

Me:  yes, Rachel?

Rachel:  she babbles for about 2 minutes, and then goes about her business of playing with a stick.

Whatever it was she was trying to say, she made sure I heard it!  Natalie was inside, busy getting all dressed up in her Princess clothes while all this was going on...no doubt getting ready for the wedding ;)  Never a dull moment over here!
