Lillian Says: March 30, 2012

Lillian's question of the day: What's the perfect size family?

Lillian's response: "5 people." Lillian's mom asked her why? "Because 5 is the right amount of a family" Lillian's mom: "Why?" "You need 5 people because then it's 2 sisters, 1 brother, 1 Mom and 1 Dad." Lillian's mom: "What about people in families that dont have 5 people?" "Then it can just be 4. or 3. Those are good families too. If I had 3 or 4 people in my family I would love them all. If I had 5 people in my family i can love them all too." Lillian's mom: "What about families with only 1 mom or 1 dad? Not 2 grown ups?" "Those are good families too. Or if there were no sisters or no brothers. Just you and your mommy or daddy. That's good too. They can still love each other. All the people in a family have to love each other. The end. Spell THE END Mommy. Did you spell THE END? Let me see it. Does it say THE END? What did Aunt Marian say back to you? Can i draw now?"

How incredibly insightful Lillian is! She made me cry reading what she said. I wish more people were as open and loving as Lillian is.
