Happy Mother's Day to Me, the Luckiest Mom Around

I love the funny things kids say and do.
I tried to have deep conversations with Roxy and Ellie about what made them happy and what they wanted out of life.
Here is what ensued:
Me: Ellie, What do you think you want to do or be when you grow up?
Ellie: I dunno.
Me: A chef or an artist?
Ellie: (crinkling up her face) Nah.
Me: Maybe a doctor or a nurse?
Ellie: shakes her head no.
Me: What about a scientist?
Ellie: No.
Me: Well, what do you want to be?
Ellie: (tapping her finger on her lip for a few seconds, then cocks her head to one side as her face lights up)
I know!!!
Me: What?
Ellie: The Oldest!!!

Spoken like a true middle child.

Another day I was trying to see into Roxy's soul- asking her random questions, and I definitely got some random answers. This one made me laugh so hard.
Me: So, Roxy, tell me, what is your absolute favorite thing about right now?
(I'm thinking she'll tell me about friends, or her siblings, or getting baptized)

She responds promptly:
Ramen noodles.

And I guess it's true. She asks for them all the time. Deep, huh?
