As you can imagine, Tink can be a little, um, creative when detailing how her day at camp or school has gone. And now this:
JACQUI: So what did you do at school today, Captain Destructo?
DESTRUCTO: I play on playground.*
JACQUI: Ooh!
DESTRUCTO: I go on ti-yah swing.
JACQUI: Great.
DESTRUCTO: Den dere a fi-yah drill.
JACQUI: A fire drill?
DESTRUCTO: Yeah. Dere fi-yah at my school!
JACQUI: There was a fire at your school?
DESTRUCTO: Yeah, but Grover come.
JACQUI: What?!
DESTRUCTO: It Super Grover! He fly down and save all the friends!
JACQUI: He did?
TINK: No, he didn't.
DESTRUCTO: He spray all the friends with his hose!
JACQUI: He did?
TINK: No, he didn't.
DESTRUCTO: He save everybody!
JACQUI: He did?
TINK: No, he didn't.
JACQUI: Tink. Enough.
TINK: Well, he didn't!
JACQUI: I KNOW THAT. But let him talk.
DESTRUCTO: (who has been talking all along and has, in fact, not taken a breath in three minutes) And den the friends all got to fly to Sesame Street on Grover's back and...
TINK: That wasn't GROVER!
JACQUI: Tink, that is your problem?
TINK: It wasn't Grover.
JACQUI: (fumes)
TINK: It was Oscar.
* But you have to imagine that he says 'l' like 'y' and it is absolutely adorable.

It wasn't Oscar, either -- it was actually Hank, Oscar's purple uncle. But their respective blunders were understandable -- it's very difficult to tell them apart when Grouches fly ...
C'mon, J-Rob -- stoop to their level!
OMG, how cute!
Snort! You are so going to be in trouble when these two get older.
funny, we both blogged convos with our kids for today. mine took a decidedly different turn...
Thorp, I was so confused! I like Mrs. Grouch, personally. Close to home...
Corey, thanks.
Diane, I know. I know.
cath, heading over...
Awww...I used to love conversations like this with my kids. You are smart to write them down: you'll need a handy reference for when they're teenagers and you want to embarrass them in front of their friends.
That's hilarious.
Oh that is seriously a Pb in the works, Jacqui. Too cute!!!
