Overheard Last Christmas

A: What kind of gun does Santa have?
A's Mom: Huh? Santa doesn't have guns.
A: Why not?
Mom: Um, because he's a pacifist.
A: What's a pacifist?
Mom: Someone who doesn't believe in war or weapons.
A: That's dumb. I'm not a pacifist, I'm a weaponsafist!

Overheard at the Preschool Halloween Party Where I Had to Clear the Security Gate to Even Get In

Mommy 1: (Looking around at house party is in) So I hear you guys bought a new house!
Hostess: Yes, it's just up around the corner, on the other side of the fairway
Mommy 2: Looking for more room? How big is this house?
Hostess: Oh, only 3100.
Mommy 1 and Mommy 2: mmmm. ( shaking heads)
Mommy 2: And how big is the new one?
Hostess: Well, it's 4300, but it feels like 5.
Mommy 3: Oh, we looked at that one. Yes, it's a bit small, but it does feel bigger than the numbers.
Mommy 1: Well, you'll manage
Mommy 2: Yeah, you can make it work.
Hostess: smiles weakly at me, as her child has had a playdate at my 2100 square foot house, which is the very most we could afford and usually feels palacious to us.

Overheard while driving carpool

Henry's friend Max: I know who Darth Vader is!
Henry and Max in unison: It's Anakin!
Henry: So, I wonder - why did Anakin want to become Darth Vader?
Max: Oh - I know! I know! They kept calling him "Annie" all the time and it made him really mad so he turned into Darth Vader to make them stop it.
