London Tete-a-tetes

Mama, when are we going to see the Queen?
We will… soon.
But when, I want to see the Queen.
Well, let's just say that you probably won't see her but you will definitely get to visit her home.
Her home?
Yep..she lives in a castle.
A castle…wow. Why can’t I see her?
Well, because she is the Queen, she is royalty.
She is what?
Never mind..
Is she beautiful?
Yes she is…
Is she a girl?
No, she is an elderly woman.
Ha?
She is an old lady.
Old….I don’t want to see an old lady!

Where are you D?
Atlanta….
No, you are in London
Oh…. Yeah.
So where are you?
Atlanta!!

We are leaving tomorrow, D
Aww... Mama, I am sad.
Why?
Because I will miss London.
I know sweetie, we will all miss London.
Yeah, but I will miss the shower…. I like the shower. I don’t like the shower in my bathroom at home.

Can we stay here Mama?
No sweetie, we have to go back.
But I love Atlanta.

At St. Paul's Cathedral, we lit a candle. He insisted on lighting it himself and as I placed it in the holder, I asked him to make a wish...and this is what he wished for...

I wished that Mama and Papa take me to Disney land!

This morning as I was getting both of them ready, D remarked how cute and beautiful A is. Then he got sullen. When I enquired what was wrong..this is what he had to say..

Mama, I want to be beautiful too, just like A.
Oh, sweetie, you are beautiful..
No I am not. I am cool.
I don't want to be cool...I want to be beautiful!
