That's my girl!

This is a conversation I overheard between my daughters:

Alexa: I'm going to marry Jacob [classmate] when I grow up because I love him!
Emilie: Does Jacob doesn't love Maya [another classmate]?
Alexa: Well Maya wants to marry Jacob, but he's just going to marry me!
Me: Alexa, why do you love Jacob?
Alexa: Because he rocks and I love his voice!
***then Alexa turns to speak directly to her sister***
Alexa: Emilie, I want to see his brain!

Ha ha ha. I have to admit I'm attracted to brains and wit as well. I love their conversation!

Ha ha ha!!! That's just hilarious! Too bad she's not talking about my Jacob. He's got's him some good brains too! And to prove it, they tested him for the "gifted" program....just sayin...

Disturbing....and funny....and troubling...and kinda cute. Maybe you have a future brain surgeon on your hands.

Thanks everyone! I'm thrilled that I've taught them well by being attracted to brains.

Shiree- Your Jacob is simply known as "Jacob" around my house, and the other one is "Jacob from school"! Remember when we saw him at McDonalds? He is so NOT interested in them, but for some reason, they worship him. I honestly think it's because his name is Jacob and they were already infatuated with YOUR Jacob, so they figured all Jacobs are super cool!

I have no doubt that your Jacob has incredible brains... no doubt at all! :)

Sum Wun- yes, all of the above! teehee

Addendum : I agree with Rebecca.

"Send more paramedics." (+5 cool points to anyone that properly guesses the quote without a search engine)

I saw the cutest brain today...

Alexa must watch the same television shows I watch. You occasionally do see a brain, though usually in tiny pieces.

I love the thought process of Alexa, but I hope she does that after attending medical school.
