cupcake confusion

While making cupcakes this morning Zoey came in and asked, "Mommy, can I lick the bladders, please?"

M: You mean the beaters?

Z: No, the bladders!

M: Sweetie, a bladder is inside your body and holds your pee-pee.

Z: Oh, then the beaters, please.

mysterious

These days, most of our really great conversations take place in the car. It seems I've neglected to jot them down the past little while. Today, though...

Z: Mommy, I'm drawing lots and lots of pictures for you.

M: Great! I can't wait to see them all.

Z: Well... I am making them all different and mysterious so you won't know what they are.

M: Where did you learn the word mysterious?

Z: Oh, that one? I just made it up. It's a good one, huh?
