Ivy-isms: Target

Ivy has been obsessed with Rainbow Brite for the past few months and has been begging for a doll.  I've explained how hard they are to find and most people are VERY PROUD of them and want an arm and a leg for a crappy toy from the 80's. I promised her that if I ever found one in a reasonable price range I would get it for her.  So I got really lucky on ebay last week and was able to give it to her as her Pre-K graduation gift.  So while we were laying in bed the other night Ivy and I had this conversation. 

Ivy: Mommy, thank you for getting me Rainbow Brite and her horse. I love them so much!
Me:  You're welcome Monkey.
Ivy: I will be so excited when I get Patty O'Green and Canary Yellow dolls back!
Me: I know you will, but remember what I said about being more responsible for your toys.
Ivy: I know. I just want ALL of the Rainbow Brite kids.
Me: Well they are really hard to find sweetie because they are so old.
Ivy: Where did Maw find my Canary Yellow doll?
Me:  She bought it from someone selling it on the internet.
Ivy: Who got me my Patty O'Green doll?
Me: Well your Aunt Shirley, Nana Hannah's sister, got you that when you were just a baby but I don't know where she bought it or who she got it from.
Ivy: Oh I know! She must have bought it at Target!
Me: No honey, they don't sell those at Target.
Ivy: I know they don't now because they are so old but I mean a long time ago when you were little and Rainbow Brite was on TV.
Me: Honey, we didn't have Target when I was little.
Ivy: WHAT?!?!? HOW DID YOU LIVE WITHOUT A TARGET?!?!?!?!?

Go ahead, show me some love....leave me a comment or thought.


Thanks for stopping by and reading my blog. It started out as a blog to keep my family and friends updated on the happenings in the Ward house while Chris and I raise our daughter Ivy, but it's turned into a little more than that for me. So sit back and enjoy because I'll be sharing all kinds of moments and memories from our life and keeping people as updated as I can on my brother Clifford, while he is deployed to Afghanistan.
While my stories may not always be happy, funny, or inspirational they are real. And it's pretty good therapy for me to write how I feel about things. So please excuse all my typos and run on sentences because I usually type like I talk and I don't stress too much over my grammatical errors. I hope everyone enjoys and keeps reading...oh, and leave me a comment, it makes my day!
