Mommy: "Pia, are you coming with me to the Thanksgiving mass?"
Sophia (who was playing on the iPad): "No."
Mommy: "I'm gonna thank GOD for my iPad."
Sophia: "I don't like my iPad."
Mommy: "You don't have an iPad."
Sophia (correcting herself): "No, my Nabi."
Mommy (on Typhoon Haiyan): "Pia, remember the Philippines?
The kids there have no food..."
Mommy: "...You have food, water and a Nabi."
Sophia (pointing to the Moshi Monsters on the iPad): "My Nabi doesn't have this."
Sophia (with an innocent remark?): "I have nothing to be thankful for..."
Sophia (rephrasing her sentence): "I don't know what to be thankful for, Mommy."
Sophia (with a sudden thought): "I'm thankful for my mommy for her iPad."
Mommy (initially disappointed): "Now, think about what you need to be thankful for?"
Sophia: "I already know..."
Sophia (as she buried her head into my tummy): "...Mommy, thankful for Mommy."
And speaking of tummy, I think the stuffing was not in the turkey nor the giant chicken.
I think the stuffing was in me.
Sophia: "Mommy, I'm wearing brown. Wear brown, too."
Sophia: "Brown is the color of Thanksgiving. Black and white, too."
Sophia (referring to their clothing): "Brown are the Indians. Black and white are the pilgrims."
Mommy (convinced as she took off her turquoise blue cardigan and black blouse): "Okay."
Mommy: "Since we're matching, let's take photographs, too."
Sophia: "Ah... Not again?!"
