Quotables

Setting: Dinner. Hilde and Enoch are asking questions about when they were babies, a common theme around here these days. Hilde remembers eating sweet potato puffs when Enoch was a baby and she would steal some.

H: "Daddy, did I eat puffs when I was a baby?"
D: "Yes, you did"
H: "Did I like them?"
D: "Yes, you really loved them."
H: "Did you like puffs when you were a baby?"
D: "No, they didn't have puffs when I was a baby."
H: "Oh, that must have been in the Victorian times."

I tried very hard not to laugh, but a few giggles escaped. Since Hilde is studying the Victorian era in history, I am sure I will soon be told a similar line. But for now, there are a lot of discussions between Dave and I ending in "oh, that must have been the Victorian times".
