N: Mom, when I grow up I want to live with you forever.
Mom: That's fine with me. You can live with me for as long as you like.
N: And when I'm a grown-up I'm going to have nine cats.
Mom: Hmmm. That's a lot of cats.
N: Well, I'll get them one at a time so they won't make you sneeze too much.
Mom: Hmm, but by the time you get four or five we might have too much hair in the house.
N: I'll get a siamese cat last.
Mom: I still think nine might be too many cats.
N: But when I'm a grown-up I won't be scared of the vacuum cleaner so it will be fine.
Mom: You'll have to vacuum everyday. Do you think you can do that?
N: Yeah. And I'll vacuum your nose too.

Bathroom talk
N: Mom? How big is Clifford's poop?
This question sparked one of our more interesting family conversations in the last week. How could Birdwell Island dispose of or use Clifford's poop? (For reference: http://pbskids.org/clifford)
Natasha's ideas:
1. "Give it to a blue whale to take out to sea to decompose."
When it was mentioned that dog poop may harm sea animals. She amended her suggestion with "wash the poop with a big soap to get the germs off first."
2. Burn the poop
3. "Grow pumpkins. Make one into a Jack-o'-lantern and let the others grow bigger and then Clifford could poop into the other big pumpkins."
