More conversations with Captain Inexplicable.

[rivka]

Alex: Where are we going?
Me: To the playground.
Alex: I want to go to the loloma.
Me: What is a loloma?
Alex: You take clothes there.
Me: Oh, a laundromat?
Alex: Yes! I want to go to the laundromat.
Me: I think the playground would probably be more fun.
Alex: No, I want to go to the laundromat.
Me: Emily and Zoe are meeting us at the playground.
Alex: They should go to the laundromat with us.
Me: Why do you want to go to the laundromat?
Alex: [...]
Me: What would we do at the laundromat?
Alex: Play and play and not go home.
Me: You want to play at the laundromat? Not the playground?
Alex: Play and play and not go home.
Me: I don't think there's anything to play with at the laundromat.
Alex: There is! They have special toys to play with.
Me: Special toys?
Alex: It's called jeans. And clothes.

Must be. I was trying to figure out how Alex would even know what a laundromat is (we have a washer and dryer), until Emily reminded me of the book.

I love it when my two year old makes recognizable literary references. My favorite was when she named her stuffed bird "Christopher Robin". It's cool to have evidence of how much she's absorbing and remembering. You never know what random bit they'll pick up on next!

The knuffle bunny book?

Well, they go back to the laundromat and things resolve happily... so I can see wanting to visit it.
