Parrots & Such

The other day Talulah kept asking for a parrot. She even busted out the "peas" like nobody's business. Here's how the conversation went:

Talulah: Mommy, can I have a parrot? Peas? Peas?
Mommy: A parrot?
Talulah: Yes.
Mommy: What do you want to do with a parrot?
Talulah: I want to eat it.
Mommy: Oh no! Poor parrot!
Talulah: (giggle) Peas?

She followed me around asking for a parrot while I was wondering why she wants to eat a colourful bird. I mean, I did think it was cute that she wanted a parrot... But there was no way we were getting a bird.

Then, she followed me into the kitchen and pointed to our over-flowing fruit bowl and said, "Peas Mommy?"

I said, "Talulah, do you mean a pear?" to which she replied, "A pear. Yes."

I giggleD to myself while I washed her a pear to nibble on. Seriously? How is it possible that she keeps getting cuter? The confusion may have come from the fact that we watched the movie Rio, which is a cartoon about exotic birds.

Then, yesterday she asked for a "pear-d". Seriously......... CUTEST. KID. EVER.
