Today we went to Wichita to do some early Christmas shopping with Jill and the kids. In the car on the way home, Lauren was listening to her new favorite song - "Love Story" by Taylor Swift. She has a Build-a-Bear bunny named Juliet, and she was telling me that she'd like to go back to BAB and get another animal to name Romeo.
As she was listening to the song, she asked, "Aren't there 2 stories about Romeo and Juliet, one where they are brother and sister and one where they die?" I couldn't figure out WHAT she was talking about. I said that there are different versions, but that they are never brother and sister in them. She said, "You know, the one with them throwing pebbles." I was thinking about the song she was listening to, and trying to remember if there is a part where Romeo is tossing pebbles at her window, but I couldn't figure it out. Lauren added, "You know, where their parents take them into the forest and try to lose them, but they use pebbles to get back..." AH-HA! I said, "That would be Hansel and Gretel, not Romeo and Juliet." Silence reigned for a moment from the backseat... "never mind."
It cracks me up, how she has such a combination of exposure to all different kinds of things, swirling around in that little brain...
