Six Year Old Logic

For those who've wondered, I'm still alive and well. The last week has been completely frantic. Every time I try to catch my breath I realize that there's something else that HAS to be done. Today! No wait, yesterday. Anyway, I spent the morning at the trailer manufacturer watching three guys put our new horse spa into our custom trailer. They insisted that one of us be there to supervise the installation, so that we didn't end up with the unit in the trailer backwards or some other such issue.
And may I say, the whole affair was some nerve wracking stuff! There's nothing quite like watching someone hoist your very sizable investment into the air with a forklift and squeeze it into a hole that's only slightly larger than the machine. To top it off, the guy driving the forklift wanted to be a comedian. Hey dude, the time to joke around with me is not while I'm watching you screw with my new source of income. I don't really have a sense of humor about that. I'm just saying.
I am extremely happy to report that after many, many delays the spa is now in the trailer and waiting to be hooked up. Once we know that we have power we can get the technician over here to start training us. I am excited about the prospect of getting to use my degree again. I have loved every moment of being a stay at home mom...OK, wait. That's a lie. I have loved ALMOST every moment of being a stay at home mom. I did, however, spend a ton of time, money, and effort earning a degree before I was someone's mom. So even though I'm not going back to work full time, I am looking forward to treating and preventing injuries with our spa. We are going to run it here at home as well as taking it to some events. Hello, retirement plan!

I love to listen to my girls talk to one another, especially when they don't know that I'm listening. The other day they had the following conversation.

Child 1: Is China farther away than Disney World?
Child 2: Yes, it's much farther, I think.
Child 1: Can you drive there?
Child 2: No, it's too far away for that.
Child 1: Then how do you get there?
Child 2: You can take a boat. Or maybe a plane. It takes a lot of hours. You can sleep on the way there, it takes so long.
Child 1: Oh. Well, if it takes so long, then what about the driver? How do they get to sleep?
Child 2: Well, they have two drivers. One can sleep while the other one drives.
Child 1: Oh, okay. Well, what if the floor or the roof of the plane falls off?
Child 2: That won't happen. I mean, unless they like, hit a bird or something. Even then, it wouldn't hurt the plane, because, I mean, a plane's made out of metal, and a bird's made out of...bird.

Six year old logic! Gotta love it!
