We headed out to the Bay area Thursday Morning. My mom watched Luis, Luhani and Lana for us and we took Jaidyn out of school and decided to make it a date/trip, Jaidyn loves those.
Luckily the roads were clear, except for a little bit of fog over Donner pass. It took us about 3 1/2 hours to get to Foster City, and we heard quite a few funny things on the way, from our 7 year old of course.
Jaidyn: "mom, is California an evil place, like Las Vegas?"
Mom: "what do you mean?"
Jaidyn: "Well, like you said that Las Vegas had lots of bad stuff there, is California like that too?"
Mom: "Well there's lots of bad stuff everywhere, you just have to live right and remember to do the right things. There are good people everywhere, it's just in the cities sometimes there tends to be more bad people and so you have to be stronger and more close to the gospel".
Jaidyn: "Oh, because I thought if it was evil, then I couldn't live there, because I don't want to be evil and a bad person."
conversation #2
Jaidyn: "Mom, where else has palm trees, besides California and Las Vegas" (Jaidyn loves Palm Trees)
Mom: "Arizona, Vegas, Florida, Texas and Hawaii".
Jaidyn: "Ooh, well I don't want to move to Arizona because it's too hot, and Florida has hurricane's and alligators, what's Texas like?
Dad: "You have a lot of family in Texas?"
Jaidyn: "I do? Well no, maybe I should move to Hawaii."
Mom: "we should take you to Hawaii sometime, Kjersti said that if you fly during a certain season you can get round trip tickets for $400 ea."
Jaidyn: "wow that's cheaper than the cost to fix my teeth!"
Conversation 3
Jaidyn: "Oh, look that cute Chinaman was listening to china music, I can't wait to go to China town and see all of the cool Chinese New Year things.
Mom: "Jaidyn you need to be careful with how you say things. Like if someone came up to you and said you're white, how would that make you feel?"
Jaidyn: "fine, I wouldn't get mad"
Mom: "Well some people might get offended by that, it's just not nice to catagorize people"
Jaidyn: "that's just weird, so I can't say "hey, your China man Music is so cool!"
Mom: "no, definitely not"
