Me: "It's a restaurant called Taco Bell.
Adelie: "Do they sell tacos?"
Me: "Yep."
Adelie: "Do they sell bells?"
Ummmm....no.
When we are going somewhere, the kids always point out people on motorcycles and comment on whether or not they are wearing a helmet. Yesterday we saw a man riding his motorcycle and Briggs pointed out that he was wearing a helmet. I commented that wearing a helmet was a very safe decision.
Adelie: "But he could still break his leg if he's wearing a helmet."
Me: "That's true, but I'd rather break my leg than my head."
Adelie: "Why?"
Me: "Well, what's inside your head?"
Briggs: "Bones and blood."
Me: "True, but there's something else important inside your head that a helmet helps protect."
Staley: "Your brain."
Me: "That's right. You wear a helmet to protect your brain."
Briggs: "You have a brain in your knee too."
Me: "Nope. You only have one brain and it's in your head."
Briggs: "You have bones and blood in your knee."
Me: "True."
Briggs: "You have bones and blood in your leg and your arm and your hand."
Me: "True. You have bones and blood in your whole body."
Briggs: "And you have earwax in your ear."

I always want to protect this little boy and his amazing brain.
Staley had a sleepover the other night with her cousin. I got a text from Jill, stating that Staley had just informed her that she was the best athlete in our whole family. I responded, reminding her that Staley's closest competition was 2 years younger than her. Jill replied again, letting me know that Staley was including Zach and I in that hierarchy as well.
Oh, this girl and her confidence.
