Confucius is 3

Ava told me today that she was ready for kindergarten and those of you who know her, know she would totally kick as* with the 5-6 year old set, but what came tonight was beyond anything I could have imagined would come out of her mouth at age 3...

These are the kinds of questions that I thought came later in life when they were reflective teenagers...

NOT AT AGE 3!

Anyway, Ava and I were sitting on the couch watching American Idol tonight (I know...great family programming for the preschool set) and during a commercial she says...

brace yoursleves...

"Why am I Ava?"

"Why am I a girl?"

"Why are you my mommy?"

After at least 5 minutes of complete awe...I responded with a very zen answer about love and the universe, which she thought was great (phew)...for now.

Holy crap...between philosophizing with my preschooler and plucking Max off everything that's 3 ft tall of higher, I am exhausted.

What's next....SATs?????

Why am I not even a little bit surprised?
