world travel



Tonight I had a Relief Society enrichment with a Hawaiian theme. I was telling Phoebe about this and how they were some people there hula dancing and she says to me, "I already know how to hula dance" to which I reply, "how is that?"
Phoebe: I already learned
Mama: where did you learn?
Phoebe: In Mexico? There were two girls doing it there and I followed along
Mama: Ummm, do mean in Hawaii?
Phoebe: Mexico, Hawaii, same difference.
Mama: Not the same at all. In Mexico they speak spanish and Hawaii is way over the ocean.
Phoebe: Oh yeah, hahahahahaha.

And here I thought that having Phoebe be a world traveler would help to educate and enlighten her; give her a sense of what the different places are like and at the very least help her understanding of geographics of the countries we have visited. I guess we will still have to work on all of those. It did give me and the babysitter we were driving home a good laugh though :)

It is apparent to me that this Christmas should be spent at a place like this to refresh her memory. Start putting it together...sort of a celebration of sorts for James' return

So funny! It's like how they think another car is the "same" as yours if it's the same color.
