Selective hugging

George has been sick for the last few days, so he is trying to avoid interacting with Gwenchik as to not to pass the germs.

Gwen: Oh, how I miss my Daddy. When can I see him so that I can hug him?

Me: You know that he is sick, so wait another day or two -- he should get better. And you can hug me instead. I can't say I got to many hugs today.

Gwen: I am with you all day, so there is no reason to hug you as much -- I do not miss you. Now when you are not around, than I miss you more than Dad and want to hug you. Don't you know by now that this is how it works?

Spelling challenge

Gwenchik is doing great at school and the only thing that we need to work a bit on is spelling... so today as we walked home from school we decided to play a spelling game.

Me: Spell "about"

Gwen: a-b-o-u-t

Me: Great! Your turn.

Gwen: Hmm, you are a grown up and you know everything so the word has to be bigger than "about". Ok, spell supercalifragilisticexpialidociou.....

Naked

The last few days were surprisingly hot here and we have been spending a lot of time outside on the playground.

Gwen: It is really hot. I should take all the clothes off and run around naked.

Me: Well, even though I understand you it is not really acceptable in society.

Gwen: Why?

Me: There are social rules of behavior...

Gwen: Who came up with those rules? In the museum there are lot of naked people so they were allowed to run around then, why not now?

How do you answer a question like that?
