Good conversation

Tonight, around the dinner table, Jaybird made a request (and I quote) "for good conversation". For some reason, I decided to tell the boys about the Taj Mahal. I explained the intracicies of the architecture, the two decades it took to build, the marble, and finally that it was a love offering from a king to his beloved wife.

Jaybird asked a few questions, pensive and interested as usual.

Toot stopped long enough to reply (with food in his mouth), "Mama, if I were a king I would build a palace...just for YOU!" Oh the joys of parenting little boys!
