The other day I took the boys to pick Amelia up at "summer camp" as we call it now that school is out. She'd had a great day and was telling me all about her field trip.
When we got to the van she greeted all the boys with a hug and a kiss. Then she looked at them and said, "Mom, I wish we had three girls."
I thought I understood.
"Instead of three boys?" I empathized.
"No," Amelia said.
My voice rose at least an octave. "In addition to the boys?" I said.
"Yes!" said Amelia enthusiatically.
"Oh, honey, I don't think Mommy will be having another set of triplets. Sorry."
"But Mom, I need a sister!" Amelia wailed.
"Well that's just one baby honey."
Amelia pouted. "No, I need three."
At that point I wisely gave up the conversation. And pondered just how much we've warped Amelia's view of the world.
