Kids say the funniest things.

Brooklynne and I realised that from time to time it becomes necessary to talk about Halleigh's nap while in her presence. Unfortunately, that usually led to mass hysteria and fits of kicking and screaming. So we developed a code language in which we refer to her nap as "going to Mexico." A common exchange might go something like this:

B: I'm supposed to be at Kelly's at 2, but Halleigh needs to go to Mexico.

M: I'll take care of it.

This has worked well for the last year or so, but we think she's catching on. Today, we had this exchange.

B: When were you thinking of taking Halleigh to Mexico?

M: I was planning to read her a story first.

H: I want to go to a different Mexico... one with TVs.
