Maybe we can leave them at home ...

Transcript of actual conversation with Jacqui and Charlotte today;

J: Mommy, are we going to Canada?
M: Yes, we are going to go to Canada after we go to Paris.
J: Paris ... I don't want to go to Paris, I want to go to Canada.  I want to skip Paris and just go to Canada.
C: Canada, Canada!
M: Paris will be fun.  Once we've had lots of fun in Paris, we can go to Canada.
J: Oh, OK ... how long do we have to go to Paris for ... ?

The only saving grace is that I get to remind her of this conversation when she's older and has more sense.
