New Neighbors

We have some new neighbors on our court. Well, actually they moved in this past winter but nobody really gets out and talks when it's cold out, so as far as I'm concerned they're new. Anyway, the other night we took our daughter Tessa out front to play and wound up in a conversation with the mom, Sophia, and four year old daughter Faith. As we talked, Faith tried to play with Tessa, but they're just a little too far apart in age to play well. Faith doesn't understand why Tessa can't talk to her very much or play her games, and Tessa sucks at Tag. I mean, she's only two so it's perfectly okay, but the girl just didn't get it.

So we decided to get out the sidewalk chalk and let the girls draw in our driveway, something they could do together. Now, at this point it should be mentioned that Faith just got a new baby brother just a few weeks ago (not sure how to spell his name but it's Aivin, I think), which is how we started up a conversation to begin with what with the wife being all preggers. So Faith decided to draw her family. She took extra care to draw in her brother.

Me: What's that picture of, Faith?

Faith: This is my brother, (draws a fairly large oval shape) and this is his penis.

Sophia turned bright red and buried her face in her hands.

Faith: And this is his pee.

She then proceeds to draw like a three foot line down my driveway. Her mom says something like "Faith, stop." To which Faith replies "Don't worry Mom, it's not really pee" and continues the line down my driveway.

And that's how we met the new neighbors!
