<p>In the car on the way home Miss E pipes up:</p>

<p>E: Mum Jaspar is going to Marry me!</p>

<p>M: Is he Eesh Does he know that?</p>

<p>E: Yes he said so he's going to marry me</p>

<p>M: Is he only going to marry you?</p>

<p>E: He has three no two others is he allowed to marry more?</p>

<p>M: No </p>

<p>E: tHEN Zeb can marry Kayla.</p>

<p>E: Zeb wants to marry me.</p>

<p>M: Does he?</p>

<p>E: Yes but I want to marry Jaspar, Zeb can marry Kayla and Takira can marry Brendan and the Jaspar can just marry me.</p>



<p>She was happy with that solution and once again:</p>

<p>E: I am voting for John Howard. </p>

<p>A: You can't vote only Mummy can.</p>

<p>E: No i can vote Can't I Mummy When are we going to vote?</p>

<p>M: No you can't vote Only Mummy can and later.</p>

<p>E: Oh! (Huff)</p>

<p>M: Who would you vote for?</p>

<p>E: John Howard because he's the Prime Minister.</p>



<p>Just love 6 all the enthusiasm and knowledge Acacia was the same.</p>

<p>On another note November 21st pasted by without so much as a flicker in our house so much so I didn't realise until today that it was past November 21st, a sighn of the times I guess.</p>

<p>So today Miss E went home with a friend of mine, we met up after piano today and she recited the conversation:</p>

<p>E: Who are you going to vote for?</p>

<p>A: I don't know.</p>

<p>E: wE'RE going to vote for John Howard.</p>

<p>A: Are you? </p>

<p>E: Yes We don't like the other one , we're going to vote for John Howard but he's not going to be the Prime Minister anymore we don't think the other man IS BUT WE DON'T LIKE HIM.</p>

<p>A(nswer): Yes I am voting for John Howard too.</p>



<p>(Eesh was please that person was voting the same way.)</p>



<p>And another 6 year old:</p>

<p>We had to clean out our classroom for the election so we were discussing what the election was</p>

<p>Me: Who is the Prime Minister?</p>

<p>Child 1: Ummm Umm that man</p>

<p>Child 2: Kevin Rudd</p>

<p>Me: Umm no but he might be soon- So then i picked the child I knew would answer John Howard.</p>

<p>cracked me up . . . .This first one 5 minutes ago:</p>

<div><span face="Arial" style="font-size: 0.8em;">Miss Ay: Do you know what? </span></div>

<div><span face="Arial" style="font-size: 0.8em;">Me: What?</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial" style="font-size: 0.8em;">Miss Ay: Kayla kept saying me all day and I told her it's not me it's I but she kept forgetting and I had to keep telling her . . I had to keep saying it's I not me. . .but she kept forgetting all day. . . and i had to keep remembering to tell her.</span></div>

<div></div>

<div><span face="Arial">aND the one in the car on the way home:</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss A: wHAT IF WE HAD NO NOSE?</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">mISS A &amp;I : Then we couldn't breathe.</span> And you die!</div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss A: What if we had no ears?</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss I &amp; AC: We couldn't hear?</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss A: What is we had no mouth?</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss I : We couldn't eat</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss A: Yeah we couldn't eat and you die</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss I: hOW LONG CAN YOU GO WITHOUT WATER BEFORE YOU DIE?</span></div>

<div></div>

<div><span face="Arial">And still the same trip home:</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Miss A what if there was no trees?</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">There'd be no air we'd die</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Yeah because trees and light and carbon dioxied and nutrients make oxygen</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Yeah that's right we learnt it at school. . . .</span></div>

<div></div>

<div><span face="Arial">The whole converation was so long and bizarre it just kept going, no trees no ground, no clouds no, water (How long without water) No eyes no ears no mouth no leg ( that was a crack up you used a wheel chair, no wheel chair use a skateboard a skateboard how? Miss I says yeah i saw it on tv) No scateboard. . .no food. . .To absolutely everything they suggested Miss Ay said what if there was none and they in their 9 year old wisdom had an answer for everything.</span></div>

<div></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Then : the miss 9's who are constantly in it together discussing electricity ( asa you do when you are 9)</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Does electricity travel through water? Yes Which leads to the discussion about how you get electrucuted, and yes they know that electricity can travel through you that was ofcourse what started the whole conversation and the little Miss What if there was no electricity. . . no cars ride a bike. . .no bikes. . .use a horse. . .no horses. . walk. . . .no legs. . . ..etc. .etc. . .</span></div>

<div></div>

<div><span face="Arial">And another new camera</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Actually 2 new cameras this week:</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">1. Miss A's for her birthday a drama in itself because she opened it started playing with it and then when I was perplexed over the number of shots it could take on the 16mb card we discovered it was the wrong camera so 9:30 sunday morning i was there back at Target getting it swapped for a new one as that one had clearly been used and the right model. . . Ofcourse if i had any brains i would have realised when it wasn't wrapped in plastic, it had batteries in it and the other set of batteries were not wrapped in plastic. Duh! The new camera was much loved and she took around 50 photos on Sunday with the help of Grandpa who took her hunting for flower photo opportunities.</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">2. My new camera 40 D number 2 arrived. . finally after a very tense weekend I swear air express does not deliver&nbsp; to Darwin Friday because they sent it Thursday and it did not arrive till Tuesday. . That is NOT express, it's snail mail, I could have driven down picked it up and got back in that time but i had to work!</span></div>

<div><span face="Arial">Anyway the buttons appear to work otr atleast the one that was broken on the other one does, Ayesha wasn't very obliging this afternoon and the gym was terrible so i have to wait till tommorrow to take more photos</span></div>
