If....

Conversation overheard today while the kids were coloring:

Bounce : If you weren't my sister, I would want to be your friend.

Ketchup: If you weren't my family, I would like being the only child. It would be quiet around here and mommy wouldn't have so much work and it would be really quiet during quiet time.

Bounce: But I am your brother

Ketchup: I'm just saying IF.

Bounce: (still questioning and confused)

Ketchup: It's OK because if you weren't my family, you would be my friend or my cousin and we could still play together.

Bounce: (content with her answer moved on to the more important superhero conversation).
