Jackson's Christmas List

Here are a few conversations Jackson and I had this morning about Christmas presents.

*************

Me: What should we get Z (his best friend) for Christmas?

J: Does she have any GeoTrax?

Me: I don't think she does, but remember that we're trying to think of things the OTHER person would enjoy.

J: (long pause) How about some flowers?

Me: Oh that's a good idea, girls always like flowers.

J: Yeah, we can get her a red, and blue and white and pink and purple. And put them in a little pot. And none of them can be the same.

Me: Ok!

*************

Me: How about Gramma and Grandad, what would they like?

J: Hmmm. (thinks so long I think he's forgotten what we're talking about) How about a little tree?

Me: Ooh that's interesting. Do you mean a real tree or a little statue of a tree?

J: A statue. Or since they don't have any dogs, we can give them one of ours.

Me (choking): I think they might like to pick their own dog if they get a new one. But which one would you give them?

J: I want to keep Zoe.
