January 16, 2014 HAIR MASSACURE

Ever wonder what Imogen looks and sounds like?  Well, she was interviewed on Breakfast Television this morning about her participation in Hair Massacure.  The link below leads to a page with 4 videos.  Imogen is in #1, #3, and #4.  Her awesome brother Liam is in #4.

Imogen and Liam are on Team Aaron for the Hair Massacure, a fundraising venture that benefits the Stollery Children's Hospital, Ronald McDonald House, and the Make A Wish Foundation.  Aaron is the cousin of one of Imogen's friends; he has terminal neuroblastoma.  It is his dying wish to raise $50,000 to help other children who will go through similar illnesses.

Imogen: I think I have long term memory loss.

Me: Why?

Imogen: Because I don't remember being a baby.

Imogen: Can we go to the bank today to turn my American money into Canadian money?

Me: Maybe. We'll see. We have lots to do.

Imogen, with a look of deep concentration: How do they change the money into Canadian?

Me: Well they don't actually change it; they trade us. We give them American money and they trade it for Canadian money.

Imogen, with a look of sudden understanding: Oh! So it's not magic like with a wand because that would not make any sense.

(And that's a reminder to me to be as literal as possible with her! Also, a great glimpse at how her brain attempts to make sense of the seemingly impossible.)

December 30, part deux

Imogen: I was thinking about wearing a fancy dress for New Year's Eve.

Me: Nice. Which one?

Imogen: Well, actually, I think it might be in the dishwasher.

Imogen: When you're 100 do you die?

Me: Most people die before they're 100.

Imogen: I don't want to die.

Me: You probably won't die for a very long time.

Imogen: Well, when I die I want to become a vampire.

Me: Oh really?

Imogen: Yes. Because then I will be dead-alive for infinity forever.

Me: What about the part where you have to drink people's blood?

Imogen: Mommy! Why do you have to ruin everything?

Imogen: Since we've been reading Charlotte's Web, I've realized something.

Me: What's that?

Imogen: I realized that we need a pet pig.

MamaJen: Imogen, I'm getting tired of all the whining.  It needs to stop.

Imogen: Well MamaJen, then I think you picked the wrong family!
