GabyЛying down to sleep with Sasha, I suggest we play a game. Since our patronymics come from our fathers, she has to guess what her father’s name is based on mine. Here’s an example.
– You are Alexandra Ivanovna. Ivanovna. What is your father’s name?
She replies without hesitation:
– Ivan!!!
I say:
– I am Elena Valeryevna. VALERYEVNA. What is my father’s name?
Knowing her grandfather, she answers without thinking:
– Valera!!!
I tell her:
– Good. Now here’s your teacher – Elena Ivanovna. IVANOVNA. What is her father’s name?
Sasha thinks for a while and then says:
– Fedya!!!

Sasha has a crush on Mark at kindergarten. She goes to school in a new sweater and new tights to impress him. In the minibus, she asks me:
– Mom, when do people get married?
I reply:
– Well, first you have to meet, like each other, fall in love – and then get married!
After thinking for a while, she says:
– Mom, we already have all that! Take us to where they get married!

We’re driving in the car, and she suddenly shouts:
– Mom, Dad! I see a GULYATNYA!!!
In reality, it was the train station building at “Karavaevy Dachi,” but she thought it was an amusement park – that’s how she interpreted the word “gulyatnya.”

Sasha asks us to help her with her building blocks. But we’re having lunch at the moment. We tell her:
– You go ahead and start! We’ll come help you later!
Sasha replies:
– But I already STARTED!

We’re watching a movie with Sasha, and an old lady dies. Sasha asks:
– Mom, why do old people die? Tell me about DEATH!

As we’re getting ready for bed, Sasha is walking on the bed and accidentally steps on my foot.
– Mommy, I’m sorry!
I say:
– That hurts…
Sasha replies:
– Mommy, I’M REALLY SORRY!!!
