consider yourself warned

As there seems to be no end to the ridiculous things Ceci says, let me relay the following conversation from today while Ceci and I were coloring: (are you tired of this yet?)

Ceci: Mommy, what are goblins?

Me: They aren't real.

Ceci: I know, but what are they?

Me: They are kinda like monsters.

Ceci: Except they eat you?

Me: I mean, I guess. But they aren't real.

Ceci: What about '"Can't See Thems?" Are they real?

Me: Can't see... you mean "no see'ums?"

Ceci: No, "can't see'ums." I saw them on that jungle show.

Me: They are called No see'ums. They are little tiny bugs that are hard to see.

Ceci: They are called "Can't see'ums." And they come in storms.

Me: Swarms?

Ceci: No, storms. It's when a whole bunch of them come. A big storm of them. And they tickle you.

Me: I see.

So watch out for those tickling storms of "Can't see'ums" next time you are in the jungle.
