What is appropriate

The car ride to school started off easily enough with Ellie asking what the name of my car was. I told her it was a Toyota 4runner and she said, no, what is its name? I said it doesn't have a name and she decided that my car should be named cupcake and daddy's could be named batman.

Then she asked me what appropriate was. I tried to explain the definition of appropriate as something that is right, okay, or expected. I said let's play a game, I'll tell you a place and you tell me appropriate behavior. So we talked about appropriate behavior at the library, a restaurant, an airplane, bedtime, playground...

Then she said, so appropriate is what I'm supposed to do and you won't yell? Yes, for all intents and purposes, that is appropriate.



I didn't take a picture this morning so you will just have to deal with a photo from a week ago of Ellie eating gnocchi. Grandma Dolly would be so proud!
