Anything is possible

Yesterday my 3 year old daughter came up to me, curled on my lap, looked up at me with those big cute eyes and said "mommy, can I have an orangutan?"

I did a double take......"what did you say?"

"Can I have an orangutan?"

"No honey you can't."

"mommy?"

"yes Hollianne, what is it?"

"What's an oragutan?"

After I stopped laughing, (and I did for awhile) we discussed what an oragutan was, where they live, and why they don't make good housepets! ( It was hard enough changing diapers on human children!) She was not going to be dissuaded. She was convinced that once we move to a bigger house, then we can have an oragutan!

But I love it! I just love that my kids have wild imaginations and come up with the most interesting things. And they absolutely think anything is possible. While the rest of the block is asking thier dad's for puppies kitty cats and goldfish, tonight my 3 year old is presenting to her daddy, all her reasons for getting.............an orangutan. Way to think out of the box kid! God's gonna do great things with you!
