From Maddie

While talking to a friends mom:
Me: This is Janet's mom
Maddie: Are you are a grandma? You are old, you are going to die.

After running through a torrential downpour into the Y Ben says: "I did NOT see that coming!!"

Maddie: Can we go to the North Pole to see Santa?

Mommy: No sweetie, it is too cold and too far.

Maddie: But I like cold and far. Its my favorite!
