Work Conversations!

Two conversations I had with two small little people today at work. Just had to share. :-D

Conversation #1:

Little Girl: I want to watch a movie...
Me: So do I! What would you watch if you could?
LG: Cars!!
Me: Oh...well...I think I'd want to watch the Little Mermaid.
LG: I have that movie! It's scary. How bout Elmo?
Me: No...Elmo scares me.
LG: No he doesn't. He's funny.
Me: Yes, he does scare me. He tries to tickle me in my sleep and pinch me. That's scary.
LG: You're funny.
Me: Heeey....Do you know what clouds are made of?
LG: Nope.
Me: Cotton Candy! And did you know if you get real close to a cloud you can reach out and grab it and eat some!
LG: Hehehe...I like cotton candy.
Me: But you have to be careful because in the cotton candy clouds there lives baby angels.
LG: Baby Angels?
Me: Yep. Baby angels live in the cotton candy clouds. Remember that!

Conversation #2:

(Little boy is almost crying, but not quite)
Me: You know...This hurts me to say this, but right now I can't hold your tears. I love you and I see your tears, but I'm not in a place where I can hold them.
LB: *sniffles*
Me: Yeah, I know. It hurts. Maybe we should just sit in this disappointment together. Is that okay?
LB: *sniffles*
Me: Okay...come here and we'll just sit.

:-) Haha....Happy Valentines Day!

I love how you invite children to imagine and dream and believe.

I love how you invite others that you are in relationship with to imagine and dream and believe too.
