What preschoolers talk about

So I'm driving the carpool to preschool. This consists of my Ava (4 almost 5), Kaia (5), and Karalee (3). Rock wasn't with us which was unusual... it was just the girls. They had such a funny random conversation, I just had to record it.


Background on the characters: Kaia has whiter-blond hair than Ava, big round eyes and acts like the mature mother of the group. Karalee is like a 3 year old from a cartoon. She loves Ava and thinks she is so cool. She also has a little high voice and is non-stop chatter. She had been talking about things her baby did for about 5 minutes straight and she just kept saying that she liked to throw-up all over and chew on shoes, and throw up and have stinky diapers... on and on with the same theme.

Finally Ava said, "Maybe we could talk about something else besides throw-up..."

Karalee: "Yeah." (as if someone else had been talking about it instead of her)

We passed by an area that has a large pond next to the road.

Ava: "Hey, there are sharks and crocodiles in that water!"

Kaia: "When we went to this park, I saw a crocodile this big (stretching out her arms) ... well, it was bigger than that."

Karalee: "I saw one in the water once too"

Kaia: "Maybe as big as this car."

Karalee: "That's big!"

Ava: "I've never seen a crocodile."

Karalee: "We saw one once and it was close to us."

Ava: "Did you get closer? Did you run away?"

Karalee: "We got closer."

Kaia: "They are fast though. Like -- zooom."

Ava: "Yeah. My sister is fast though... she can run faster than a crocodile. Faster than a car."

Kaia: "Wow. That's fast."

Ava: "Yeah."

Karalee: "I saw a crocodile and it was close to us."

Ava: "Did it bite you?" (in all seriousness)

Karalee: "No."

Ava: "Did it eat you?" (starting to tease)

Karalee: "No." (still serious)

Ava: (hiding a smile) "Did it have a beard?

(Giggles from all the girls)

Ava: (milking it) "Did it have googley,oogley eyes?"

(More laughter)

Pause.

Karalee: "Now I'm going to tell a story about Belle the princess: "Once there was a guy named Gaston who wanted to marry this girl named Belle, but she fell in love with the Beast." Now let's talk about "Tangled."

Kaia: "Well, there is a mean witch..."

Some more random facts about "Tangled" by Karalee..

Kaia: "Yeah, I'd like to ride on the back of crocodile and see how fast it goes. Let's sing "Frosty the Snowman."

Which they started and trailed off because they couldn't remember after the first line.
Then we arrived at the school.
Hah!

  3. Wow, what an imagination those girls have! It sounds like a pretty entertaining carpool situation. I wouldn't mind being the one to have to drive if there was such entertainment to be had! Too funny! I'm impressed you could remember it all so well too!
