Speaking of Dahl

Yesterday, we met up with Ron for lunch. Here's a short conversation between me and Zurielle:

Z: Mommy, where are we going to eat?
K: An Indian restaurant.
Z: They have icky chicken!
K: You don't have to eat the chicken.
Z: What me gonna eat?
K: You can eat the nan, the dahl...
Z: Dahl? I DON'T EAT "DAHLS," I EAT FOOD! Dolls are for playing.

At the restaurant, looking at the buffet meat trays:
Z: Mommy, those chicken died!
A: Shhhh!

And later on when I needed to get gas:
Z: Gas? Girls don't get gas! Boys do!

:o) KIDS! They say the best things, don't they? Refreshing.

I just spotted your note about animal documentaries/videos for adults AND kids, and I am going to see what I can find out when I get to work this afternoon, Kai. That's something I can find out there for sure.

Your daughter just might be the cutest little girl I've ever seen..

I love the whole dolls are for playing.. hehe.. I remember being 4 and my dad brought home a dolly (to move things) and I was sooo upset that it wasn't a doll to play with..

Don't you just love the innocent questions of children? How old is your daughter. She is very cute.

Hi Kai!

I was going to leave you info about some documentaries but a couple of 'em were the same as what Vicki posted on my blog in response to your post, so I want to pass her note to you there on to you here!!

So, without further ado, heeeeeeere's Vicki:

"hi kai, i just saw your question. i have some good animal documentaries that are good for kids & adults:

national geographic has a bunch:
"america's endangered species: don't say good-bye" "the grizzlies" "crocodiles: here be dragons" "african wildlife"

video nature library also has some: "pandas of the sleeping dragon"

world of discovery: "wolf: return of a legend"

maybe your library has some of those titles?"

Priceless!

I love these conversations with our kids - we have no idea where they are taking us when the conversation begins, but it usually ends with a good laugh!

That's one to write down for a memory book. :)

Hi Kai. Hope you are enjoying the summer heat. I am on a make indian food mission and am armed with two cookbooks, but I don't know what a couple of ingredients are. Perhaps you can help?

Dori,
I thought I have a first time visitor, since you changed your photo!

Kale channe could be black chickpeas, but I'm not sure... I have no idea what the other one is, but I know someone who would. Try Lera at
