Things that make you go hmmmmm?

we are listening to christmas music. why? bean insisted, that's why!
rudolph was playing. bean suddenly looks at me and says, "why not?"
"why not what?" i ask a little confused.
"why don't the reindeer play with rudoph, mommy?"

OH.

"well, the reindeer noticed that rudolph looked different than them. he had a red nose and no one else did. they didn't want to play with him because he was different."

bean just looks at me with a very confused expression on her face. "but why mommy?" she asks.

why indeed, bean!

"not everyone is nice, sweetie. that is why it is important that we are nice," i tell her.

bean is quiet. then she says...
"mama, i wish i had a red nose. i really want a red nose!"

ummm..... ok?

Alright Mama, get out your reddest lipstick and give her a red nose for the day!

That is SO sweet. Gotta love a kid's innocence. And she's right -
"why?!"
