no, no mom, dogs don't eat spaghetti

First of all, here's a photo of evelyne's cool guitar "tatoo." Now to the real reason for this post:

Evelyne's favorite movie, as of last week, is Lady and the Tramp. Every morning she gets up and wants to watch it right away. Of course, we don't watch it right away, first we have to brush teeth and "get ready for the day" before we can go downstairst to watch any TV (it's really a ploy so I can get myself ready in the mornings.) I'm amazed at the things kids pick up on movies etc. She has repeatedly asked me why the dogs eat spaghetti because "dogs don't eat spaghetti, right mom?" First of all, we don't have a dog so I don't know how she knows that dogs don't really eat spaghetti, I never told her that, but she insists that the movie is wrong and I've come up with a typical lame parental explaination of..."well, dogs in movies can eat spaghetti just for pretend." Sounds perfectly logical... I get the all to familiar "how come?" "well, movies honey sometimes are just for pretend?" "but mama honey (she's started calling me honey at times...so funny) why do they pretend to eat spaghetti?" "well, because it's more fun than pretending to eat apples..."well, why" "because apples are too crunchy and then they couldn't hear themselves talking" "why are apples too crunchy...I like apples and apple juice comes from apples, can I have some juice?" "no, not right now".....see this is how my days go, so random and so funny yet from time to time i think i'd rather sit on hot coals than have to answer to some of these never-ending questions...
