Julia is your usual fanciful five year old. She imagines all kinds of things that will make no sense to you but positively delight her. Unfortunately Andrew is the current King of Logic. He is always having to point out why something won't work and becomes very agitated if you won't see it his way. These two personalities combined make for some of the most ridiculous arguments you have ever heard. I decided to post one so you can see for yourself what we listen to on a daily basis.
The other day Bella was playing Sonic vs Mario on the Wii. Julia came running up and announced "Sonic is so handsome, if he were real I would marry him!" I laughed and gave the usual "that's nice dear" response that has become the mantra of mothers everywhere who are faced with the odd musings of children regularly.
Andrew's head quickly whipped around and proceeded to give the most rational reason in the world why this will not work. "Julia, you can't marry Sonic because then your kids would be half human and half hedgehog and that would just be weird."
Julia of course stomps her foot and proclaims with more defiance than Scarlet O'Hara ever had that she can marry whomever she wants. This whole thing then devolves into a true argument with tears and yelling thus placing me in the position of telling the kids that they have to go sit in their rooms because they were fighting over the marriage rights of a hedgehog.
