I have many confusing conversations with Katie. Sometimes it is due to her mispronunciations and sometimes it is due to her incredibly philosophic mind. However, this made me laugh and feel old all at the same time.
Katie: Mommy, I've grown up. I have ankles.
Mommy: Hon, you always have had ankles. (I point to her ankles.)
Katie: Oh....I mean......I mean... (She then points to my crow's feet on my face.) Those!
Mommy: Wrinkles, Hon. They are called wrinkles and you are too young to have them.
This isn't the first conversation that I have had with Katie regarding wrinkles. When my in-laws were here, Gaga and I were putting on face cream. Katie wanted some, but it was very expensive and for wrinkles. I told her she didn't need to use it because she was too young and didn't have wrinkles. She proceeded to get teary eyed and say, "I want wrinkles." I have tried to convince her that wrinkles are not something you want, but she desperately wants to use my expensive face serum. Today, after the above conversation, she showed me her wrinkle. It was the crease in her leg that forms when you sit down. I had to burst her bubble once again when I told her that wrinkles don't disappear when you stand up. But oh how I wish they did.
