overheard today in a fancy grocery store where I was buying a cake
Four-Year Old Girl: I want to stay in this store FOREVER!
Cool Young Dad: Forever? I don't know, I think I'm ready to move on. Ready to move on to other stores.
Girl: Other stores! What store?
Dad: Well, the store that sells sponges.
Girl: Sponges! I want a smooth little sponge for myself.
Dad: Are you going to clean?
Girl: I want my own little sponge.
Dad: But what are you going to do with the sponge?
Girl: I'm going to take my sponge into the kitchen ... and just anything that's dirty ... I'm gonna clean it.
Dad: I will buy you all the sponges you ever wanted.

LOL! Sounds like dialog from a Giancarlo Giannini film. Very cute.
You know what my little girls would say? They'd say "I'm going to make you clean with my new sponge so don't try to trick me with your gender stereotyping, OLD MAN. Kids have rights you know!"
Pre-teens say the sweetest things.
This would never have happened when you were a child. Your brother would have thought of several strange things to do with a sponge and then winged it at me, like thousands of straw wrappers.
You would have spelled sponge and told me the the history of the word. You probably would have found a way to earn money writing an article about sponges.
The only person in our house thinking about cleaning with that sponge, would have been me.
Miss you
Yeah, that sounds about right.
I'm going to go look for an e-card that involves throwing cleaning products so I can send it to Mom.
