Amelia: I want to listen to the dinosaur music.
Mama: The dino music is in the other car, I don't have any dinosaur music here.
Amelia: Can we please listen to dinosaur music?
Mama: Thank you for being so polite! I still don't have any dinosaur music.
Amelia: Then I want to listen to Car Talk .
Mama: What?
Amelia: Can we please listen to Car Talk*?
Mama: That is only on the radio on Saturday mornings!
Amelia: I just love that show.

The same evening on the way home, we had the following conversation:
Amelia: Do you remember when Grandpa Heidt was a baby?
Mama: Nope.
Amelia: Can you tell me about Grandpa Heidt was a baby?
Mama: I think I know some stories about Grandpa Heidt when he was a baby. He used to have very curly, beautiful hair.
Amelia: So you remember.
Mama: No. Grandpa's sisters told me about his curly hair and about when he was a little boy.
Amelia:Grandpa has sisters?!?!?
Mama: Yes.
Amelia: Do you remember when Grandma Kim and Grandpa Kevin were babies?
Mama: nope.
Amelia: You don't? Why?
Mama: Grandma and Grandpa are older than Mama. So, I wasn't born when they were babies.
Amelia: What? You DO remember, right Mama?
Mama: (are we home yet? we hit every.single.red.light) No, I can't remember that because I wasn't there when they were babies.
Amelia: Where were you?
Mama: Hey! Let's play the letter game! I'm looking for a letter A.....
*In short, Car Talk is a public radio show featuring two brothers who discuss car repair and other car related topics when they aren't insulting each other. I admit John and I are big fans.
