It’s 2 for 1 Time!!
These posts were “live blogged” at the time.
The conversations taking place are between Olivia and myself.
She’s almost 9, by the way. I wonder if she’ll remember?
Probably so.

“Someday I’m going to go to a junkyard and find some stuff and make cool toys and I’ll open up a store to sell them.”
“What will you call this store?”
“The Cool JUNKtion.”
“Wow, that’s a cool idea!”
“See, told ya it was a cool junktion!”
Just 3 Minutes Later…
One Day Before I’m Nine…When I’m Eight…

“I want you to take me to a junkyard so I can find some stuff so that I can make a big robot!”
:::giggle:::
“Are you laughing at me?”
“No baby, I just saw a funny picture on the screen.”
“Oh. OK. So, you’ll do that for me on the day after I turn eight?”
“Sure.”
“Really, you’ll take me to the junk yard after I turn eight?”
“We’ll see.”
“Well, that can just be my birthday present from you because I really want to make a cool robot out of junk. OK?”
“Ok, baby.”

No, I didn’t.. She’s turning 9 in April. Still don’t know if I’ll take her. She’ll have to settle for the flea market.. LOL

I love that! What a brilliant idea and clever name. That’s one smart girl. The flea market will certainly smell better!!

i like junk, too. i find stuff can be a bit more interesting, but junk’s a lot cooler than crap.

I think you should consider taking her. Either she’ll find cool stuff or she’ll figure out it’s not as much of a gold mine as she thought. Either way, she’ll learn from the experience.
Besides, if she’s anything like my kids, she won’t quit bugging you about it until you do. ;-)

She’s so intelligent! I agree with Jeff (although I would’nt like to step foot in a junkyard); it may be just what she needs to cure her of that.
It’s kind of like how everytime I see some cute outfit in a store, but it’s expensive, I go try it on. Guaranteed to make me look fat, but I would’ve always longed for it if I hadn’t…

Oh, you have to take her!! And, then, of course, post a blog report.

That’s great! You should totally take her!! She may surprise you and make some kind of kick ass robot that does the dishes and cleans her room ;)

Smart girl! You should take her to the junk yard. I bet she’d find some cool stuff.

I love the creativity and the whole intimacy of the conversation, momma to daughter, learning about each other and the world. Thanks for letting us take a peep.
