This was a conversation I just had with my Brookie:
Brooke: "Mom, Mom?! Guess which holiday is my favorite."
Me: "Ok. Hmmm. Your birthday?"
Brooke: "Nope. Try again."
Me: "Christmas?"
Brooke: "No."
Me: "St. Patrick's Day?"
Brooke: [Blank stare. Thinking face.] "What's that?"
Me: "Never mind. How about April Fool's Day?"
Brooke: "No, no, no."
Me: [Sighing.] "Uh, Halloween?"
Brooke: "Mom, no. Listen. You know that time we went to Grandma's house and got cookies? That holiday."
Me: "You're going to have to give me a little more detail."
Brooke: [Throws her hands up in the air.] "Ok, it's something like ... it has to do with Jesus. Rooster? or something like that?"
Me: "You mean Easter? The day we celebrate Jesus coming back to life?"
Brooke: "Yep! That's it!"
Me: "Ok, what about Easter?"
Brooke: "Oh, nothing. I just like it."
