Sad Tree

Aidyn has still not quite caught on to the correct name for weeping willows, but she is fascinated with them and points them out all over town. Yesterday while driving she saw one and said, "Mom! Look! One of those sad trees. What are they called again?" I reminded her of the correct name and then said, "What makes you think they're sad trees?" She thought for a moment and then said, "Well, because they look sad and they have a sad name." Interesting...does she know what "weeping" knows enough to connect it with sadness? I don't know. But it's still cute!
