Little Miss Sunshine

I was having a conversation with my little 8 year old niece last night, who was informing me that she will be 18 in 10 years time and she would be getting her drivers licence. That frightened me, considering it will be here before we know it. Not because she would be driving, just the fact that our little baby will be a grown up.

I asked her what kind of car she would like to get when she is a lady. To which she promptly replied:

"Not when I am a lady. When I am eighteen."

Heaven forbid.

She was very excited as she was boarding a plane the next day to Tassie. She was telling me about how annoying her PixelChix would be on the plane to the other passengers. I told her you aren't allowed to use electronics on the plane. Quick as a flash she tells me:

"It's not electronic. It uses batteries".

How do you respond to that? Do you try to explain your rudimentary understanding of electronics to an 8-year-old? I just laughed - she cracks me up.

Though she did decide that she would explain to the flight staff that if you don't play with the thing for 2 minutes it turns itself off. I can't wait to hear how that went down.
