Tara couldn't get enough of eating eucalyptus methal candy Mamie Annick brought for her and Siam. Her excuse was always 'I cough and can't breath, Mama.' So I told her, 'Hey, go easy on that..., you shouldn't finish the pack so fast, better save it for a rainy day!' Her reply was, 'But Mama, don't you see it's raining now?' And indeed, it was ...:-< !

Tara was 4 when she said to us, "You told us bad people don't throw trash in a trash can. Pop-eye is one bad guy too, with all those empty cans?"

Christina,Tara's friend, came to stay with us for a while. One of eer teeth fell off then. The two girls were in the bathroom for a long time after that. When asked if they were alright in there, both came out of the bathroom, showed us the bright clean tooth and said, "We just brushed the tooth all over again so Christina will get more money from the tooth fairy!"

She was six then.

Tara's answer was "Yes, it does. We can sell our mangos!!! Da!!!"

Tara, "I know how we can get more money."
Us, "How is that?"
Tara, "Well, we use our money to buy more money, see??!!"

She was five then.

"Dear Santa (I started believing in you again)

For Christmas, I want ... 1. a computer 2. a notebook with a secret code./combination 3. a bunk bed 4. another closet 5. a grown-up school bag ..... so like that. But you don't have to buy me a thing until I get to college!

From Tara

I left some cookies and milk for you!" That was when we told her that a couple of beers would just do!!!

"Let me get this straight! You go to work, so that you can pay yourself?"
After a lengthy question and answer game early in the morning about what I do all day at work.

Tara had a good question today filling out the personal information section in her calendar book:

"What do I put under blood type? cold or warm?
