I reply, “The Arveseths.”
Caroline: “The Marmosets?”
Me: “No honey, the ARVESETHS”
Caroline: “Are we going to the Marmosets house to give these to them?”
Me: “Honey, the ARVESETHS. Remember they moved to Utah so we’ll have to take it to the post office and mail it to them. Remember Eliza, Sami, and Ali? They had two new baby brothers, Spencer and Gordon.”
Me: “It doesn’t quite work that way. Let’s go mail this.”
Caroline: “We’re going to mail this to the Marmosets…..?”
My first thought was she has been watching too much “Go, Diego, Go.” My second thought was, What is a marmoset exactly? So, I googled it and found out marmosets are tiny little monkeys. In a strange and funny way, I thought it was kind of funny she called you the marmosets. It’s like 5 little monkeys!!
