Conversations with Paige

Paige: Mommy?
Me: Yes....
Paige: Mommy, what is fencing?
Me: It's where you fight with swords.
Paige: Okay...I thought so. I would like to fence when I'm older.
Me: Sounds good.
Paige: Yes, if someone touches you with their sword, they get a point. You get a point if you touch them.
Me: Yes, I think that's right.
Paige: But I don't want to cut off anyone's head or arm.
Me: No...you probably don't want to do that.
Paige: Yeah, cause I'm also going to be a police officer and I don't really want to have to arrest myself.
Me: Uhhh....okay.
Paige: But if they cut me, then I'll show them my badge and arrest them.
Me: Good deal.

I love my child.
