Raccoon!

A conversation between myself and dd last week in my office:

dd: Mom, I have a pet raccoon.

Me: really?

dd: yep, it's a girl

me: what's her name?

dd: luvee

A conversation in the car after we had left the office:

dd: oh no, Mom, we left raccoon in your office

me: um no, she came with us

dd: (looks out the car window) there she is, she's running beside the car

me: well, if I roll the window down will she get in the car?

dd: yes

me: ok (roll down the window)

dd: (yells out the window) raccoon, get in the car! raccoon, get in the car! raccoon, get in the car!

me: we're coming up to a stop sign, I'll stop long enough for her to get in ok.

dd: ok (we stop) alright mom, she's in the car, roll up the window so she doesn't get back out

me: yes, dd

Oh the joys of an imaginative 5 year old!!
