Stefan gave me a new pocket-sized camera last week which has become a fixture in my "purse"... which as of late has been a very fashionable, kid-sized, green backpack with embroidered swords on the front!
Kaya keeps asking me, with a confused look on her face:
"Why have you MY bag mommy, the one for school for my friends to go to field treps? Have you gum in it, the one with the blue dots, I like that one, it's my favorite? I'm a little bit an aaaadult and can have gum like you.Why have you my bag mommy?"
My various daily answers (lies):
1. "I brought it for you (the lies I tell her just to make her face light up)."
Kaya: "For meeeeee, have you gum in it? The one with the blue dots?"
2. "Because I couldn't find my purse."
Kaya: "Not the black one, the yellow one, the brown one? Have you gum in it? The one with the blue dots?"
3. "Because I like swords????"
Kaya: "Swords blah. Have you gum in it? The one with the blue dots?"
4. Trying her favorite answers to all my questions "I dunno."
Kaya with a wide grin delighted that I am clueless: "AH, I dunno too! Have you gum in it? The one with the blue dots?"
Yep, that's right Kaya is obsessed with a confectionary made of synthetic rubber and we all know that I fuel this addiction to avoid public tantruming and to get her to do what I want without ruse and combat. In my defense I have explained that she must chew with her mouth closed to avoid looking and sounding like bovine, avoid swallowing because it will become icky in her belly and get this, her favorite flavour is the professional whitening one, so her baby whites are sparklin'.
I got a little side tracked, all that to say that these photos were taken on a tram on the way home from a playdate at the Technical Museum.
How large does my head look?!?!
I'm smiling for your picture, now where's my gum mum?
Gangster Kaya...Where's my gum mum!
