Pumpkins, doctors and ballerinas

I was cutting up a pumpkin and I asked Anya to scoop out the insides(thinking that she would have fun doing it) gross mum I can't touch it, it is messy and looks like skeletons and such. I asked her what she meant and she told me that it was like what is inside a human(bones and muscle string thingies). I told her it wasn't that bad, she proceeded to tell me that she liked pumpkin pie and roast pumpkins but she was never going to touch the inside of a pumpkin. "one day I said you will be a mummy and have to make something with pumpkin." "Yes mum but then I would just get my husband to do it"....nice I thought John might like that.

Anyways I then told her that her husband may not be around "look is daddy here to help?"

She looked up at me and said that she was then going to be a doctor. "I am going to be a doctor so that I can make lots of money and I will pay someone else to clean my pumpkins" Who's doctors house has she been too...the kids are always going on about how poor we are...

So trying to make this long story short... I told her that doctors have to touch yucky things like blood and the insides of people which is what she doesn't like about pumpkins..." hmm she says then I guess I will just have to be a ballerina"

Gotta love the kids huh..

I think I just want to be a ballerina today too!!!!

She then decided to touch the pumpkin to get used to it for when she is a mummy
