M.’s reaction to the new Pixar trailer posted here, which I explained was about a robot:

“Robots are kinda like penguins.”

Astute. You know, she has a point.

According to 3-year-old M.,

“It’s hard to smell like a dog.”

(Don’t ask me how this issue came up.) Also:

“But you can smell like a cat? Maybe you can wear a cat costume. You got to wear cat pants.”

Got to.

Yesterday, out with my 3-year-old M., and she wanted something to drink. I stopped at a Starbuck’s but took one look at the long line and lack of free tables and decided against it. We moved on to look for a different cafe or deli. “There’s too many people in there”, I said.

As we crossed a street a block or down further down, a huge flock of birds flew overhead. “Whoa!”, she said.

Later it came up in conversation whether she liked being in New York (we’ve recently moved here).

“Yes, but there’s too many birds in New York.”
