Carrie and I had a conversation tonight about what she might like for Christmas.\u00a0 I know she’s planning to ask Santa for pink ice skates and roller skates with “training wheels”.\u00a0 (I hope Santa knows what she’s talking about, because I sure don’t!)\u00a0 But I thought she might have some other ideas for other people (namely me) who might like to buy her a Christmas gift.<\/p>\n
me<\/strong>: So, Carolyn, what else do you want for Christmas besides ice skates and roller skates with training wheels? And it got even sillier from there.\u00a0 She finally suggested that maybe we should stick to toys.\u00a0 Or books, or art supplies.\u00a0 Basically, anything that’s fun.<\/p>\n I guess spinach is not fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Carrie and I had a conversation tonight about what she might like for Christmas.\u00a0 I know she’s planning to ask Santa for pink ice skates and roller skates with “training wheels”.\u00a0 (I hope Santa knows what she’s talking about, because<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[10],"tags":[13],"class_list":["post-2162","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-carolyn","tag-carolyn-random-bits-of-cuteness"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2162","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2162"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2162\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2345,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2162\/revisions\/2345"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2162"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2162"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.sarahsthreads.com\/journal\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2162"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
\nCarrie<\/strong>: PONIES!\u00a0 And also, a Barbie named “Alexa”, or a book about a Barbie named “Alexa”.\u00a0 And a sun that babies can’t play with.
\nme<\/strong>: A sun?\u00a0 Like a model of the solar system?
\nCarrie<\/strong>: No, a yellow ball.\u00a0 That’s really hot.
\nme<\/strong>: Have you ever seen a toy like that anywhere?\u00a0 What does it look like?
\nCarrie<\/strong>: You could take lots of little pieces of yellow paper and make them into a ball and then somehow make it be hot.\u00a0 Maybe by making it be on fire!
\nme<\/strong>: But then the ball would burn up, if it was made from paper.
\nCarrie<\/strong>: Well, maybe instead you could make me some yellow cookies.\u00a0 With points!
\nme<\/strong>: Um.\u00a0 OK, then.\u00a0 Is there anything *else* you might like for Christmas?
\nCarrie<\/strong>: I don’t know.\u00a0 I’d really be happy with anything I got for Christmas!
\nme<\/strong>: Well, that’s easy.\u00a0 I’ll get you some spinach!
\nCarrie<\/strong>: No, not spinach!
\nme<\/strong>: How about dirt?
\nCarrie<\/strong>: No, Mommy, that’s silly!
\nme<\/strong>: Underwear??<\/p>\n
