First Grade, helping them get their snow boots on for before-school recess:
Kristen*: Did you know there are two cats who live in that little shack near the school?
Me: Really? They must be cold today.
Kristen*: No, they're not. They snuggle up to each other to keep warm.
Me (Struggling with a stubborn shoelace): Oh.
Kristen*: Yes. I think they might like to come out and take a walk to see this beautiful day
today.
Me: Hmmm, maybe. It's cold outside for kittens.
Kristen*: No, they're cats. I'm going to invite them to come to my house and give them
a ride in my car.
Me: Hmmm. What does your Mom think of that idea?
Kristen*: I don't know yet.
*Kristen is, of course, not this completely sweet child's name.

I finally got on here to see this, and it made me smile. Stories about the mom and daughter cat are a common story theme, and we often 'invite' them to our house on our way home from school. Thanks for sharing. :)
It's fun to imagine a continuing story line...maybe someday that mom and daughter cat will find their way into a children's book. :-)
Thanks for commenting!
