Here’s Sophie’s first official pinkmenot.com poem:

A cat was on a mat
The mat was on a bat
The bat was on a rat
And the rat was on a mat!
– by Sophie

And now we have a sibling duet full of nonsense:

Dad is awesome
But now he’s on a trip
And when he went
He went by ship
And when he was on the ship
He saw some sharks
And to make the sharks go away
He decided to make some farts
And when he farted
He ate a juicy, juicy apple
Which he married
In the ship’s chapel
While he ate the apple
He found a worm
And then he ate the worm

Which made a squirm
– by Sophie & Chloe

Tonight is movie night.  Chloe and I are watching “Titanic.”  She’s very excited to watch “Titanic.”  She likes the cursing so far.

She laughed when Rose told her fiance that the paintings she purchased were by “some artist called Picasso.”  We’re raising a very cultured 9-year old.

She also got a kick out of Jack the artist’s comment about one of his drawings, “That’s the good thing about Paris.  Lots of women willing to take their clothes off.”  The Frenchie in her appreciated the comment – as she remarked, the kids at the beach in France like to be naked.

I love it.  Heads: Chloe is a little sophisticate.  She knows Picasso!   Tails:  Chloe is completely naive.  She is still young enough to equate sensual naked French women in drawings to naked French kids on a beach!
