Queen of the Swingset

We were playing in the "tower" on Ava's swingset today (part of the reason I'm so sore...I'm seriously too old to be doing that) and she made a crown out of my belt, put it on my head, and said, "There! Okay, you're the Princess Queen!" Then she shoved me down the slide and yelled, "NOW GO MARRY A KING!"

**********

Ava: (playing with a little plastic lion she got at the dentist's office) "What does this thing DO?? I thought it would roar or something!"

Me: "Ava. It's a tiny little plastic lion. Why on earth would you think it was going to roar?"

Ava: "Yeah. And it doesn't shoot fire either."

Me: "Ummm...what?"

Ava: "Haha! No, lions don't eat fire! What do they eat, Mommy?"

Me: "What do you think they eat?" (This was not said in a sarcastic way, I was trying to see if she actually knew what lions ate.)

Ava: "Meat. They eat meat. What kind?"

Me: "Oh, I don't know. Zebras, antelope, elephants..."

Ava: "Awww, that's MEAN! I like elephants, they're nice! They have babies, and they lay eggs!"

Me: "Wait, what? Did you just say that elephants lay eggs?"

Ava: "HAHA, yeah...just kidding!"
