Scene: Playground at Hiawatha park near our house
I'm pushing Sena on the baby swings, and a little girl (Susie) comes running up.
Susie: Hi!
Me: Hi.
Sena: ???
(she doesn't talk to strangers, but stares instead)
Susie: I love to swing!
Me: Yes, it's fun.
Susie (swinging & swinging): Baby, baby, baby, ohhhhhh!
Me: Is that Justin Bieber?
Susie: Bieber, Bieber, Bieber! I love Justin Bieber!
Me: Really?
Susie: I also like Usher.
Me:????
Susie: See that dinosaur? (points to the Loch Ness monster, Minnie, who is floating in Lake Hiawatha)
Me: Yes?
Susie: That's MY dinosaur!
Me: Okay.
Susie (points to Sena): Is that your baby?
Me: Yes.
Susie: How old is she?
Me: In a few months she'll be two.
Susie: So she's one.
Me: Yes.
Susie: I'm three.
Me: Three's a good number.
Susie: How old are you?
Me: Thirty-five.
Susie: ??????
Me: That's three and five put together.
Susie: ?????
Me: It's old.
Susie nods at me as if I'm trying to explain String Theory and she understands what I'm saying.
Susie: I'm going to go on the teeter-totter now. Bye!
Sena: ?????
Me (looking at Sena): Well, you still think I'm cool. For now.

Also, here is a video of a baby monkey riding on the back of a pig. Yes, you're welcome.

Ha! I love that she "owns" the dinosaur. And remember, at that age "old people" are scary.
