“Hi, you’ve reached Cleo, Dane, Nora May & Trent. We can’t take your call right now, so please leave a message and we’ll get back to you as soon as possible. Thank you.”
“Hey Cleo. It’s Maha. I just got your email – I was out of town this weekend, but I’m home all week and would love to come by on Thursday night. I’ll pick something up on the way over and we can watch Grey’s…”

“Ello?”
“Hello Trenty.”
“ELLO.”
“How are you?”
“I GOO.”
“Good! Me, too. What are you doing?”
“I PLAYEEN.”
“How fun! Are you enjoying having mommy around over the holidays?”
“YEA.”

“Hello? Who is this?”
“Hi Nora May. It’s Maha.”
“Oh. Hi Maha.”
“Hi honey. How are you?”
“I’m good. We’re playing.”
“That’s great. Is mommy around?”
“She’s taken a shower. Please leave a message.”
“Should I call back?”
“No, Maha. Please leave a message.” (With the clear inflection that she thinks I must be a little slow in the head to ask such a foolish question.)
“Uhm. With you?”
“Yes please.”
“Ok. Will you please tell her I called and that I will see her on Thursday.”
“Yes, okay. Goodbye.”

Kids amaze me.
I wish adults were as honest as them.

Trent sounds adorable “I PLAYEEN”! I love that 🙂 You should post some pics of them soon, since it’s been so long!
That’s hilarious that Nora May was all “Maha” bold 😉
Children are a lot more honest than adults for sure!!!!! We’d be a lot better off if adults behaved like kids.

I agree with you – children are much more honest than adults. That reminded me of a conversation I had with someone once and I’ll post that soon enough…xxoo

Hey Maya why do you have the comments disabled on your blog posts?
I visited your blog for the first time today through a google search,
I like the content and the thoughts you articulate but am frustrated i have no place to post my own reflections on them.
Part of the fun of blogs is being able to comment on peoples blog posts.
Cheers from the Netherlands.
