1) One time I was having a glass of wine and Violet was asking about why I drink alcohol if it is bad for you. I said "It's only bad for you if you drink a whole whole lot. If you drink a little bit, it can actually be good for you. You can have about 3-5 drinks a week is good."
Violet said, "So, on one night you can have 2, then another night you have 1, then one night you have 3 and then another night you don't have any."
Me: "That's exactly right." I was pretty impressed with her being able to average.
2) Violet: "Mom, do bees need technology?" I have no idea where this one came from!
3) Vi: "Why can't brothers and sisters get married?"
Me: "Because they have the same DNA. So their DNA doesn't mix very well and they could have some children with some major problems."
Vi: "Well Erickson and I don't have the same DNA."
Me: " Do you want to marry Erickson?"
Vi: "Yes! He'd be the best Dad in the whole world!"
(I'll just let that be cute for now!)
3) One day Violet asked, "Mom, Can a woman have a crush on another woman?"
Me: "Yes. And they can get married."
Vi: "Do they have to wear the same clothes?"
(I had no idea what this meant and then realized that she was asking if both women would wear a wedding dress!) On the other hand it would be pretty funny if all lesbians had to wear matching outfits!!!
4) Violet loves her "Piggy" that she sleeps with every night. One day she was being sweet to Erickson and said, "Erickson can sleep with my pig for 64 nights." Another night she told me that when she dies, she wants piggy in her arms in her grave. :(
5) Every night Violet tries to get out of going to sleep employing various stalling techniques. The other night Violet was fake crying and saying she was hungry. Then she said, "My stomach is saying, 'Oh damn it, damn it, I'm so hungry'." Then When I told her that she can't say damn it, she asked why. I told her that some people might get offended and that it means that you are damning something to hell. I told her that if she said that at school she would get in trouble and have to change her color and go see the principal. Then she started crying and said, "I'm so sorry I said that. I didn't mean to. I didn't know." I comforted her and said, "It's OK. I don't care what you say. I just want you to know that some Christians would probably be offended. You can say what ever you want. You just have to be aware that certain things that you say have consequences." (Poor thing, she was so worried.)
