Life With Girls

I have 2 young girls; both my husband and myself grew up with 2 brothers and no sisters. This whole girl thing is a bit foreign to us. It is interesting to watch, there is a lack of physical violence. No one feels a need to try out a new wrestling move on their siblings.
Sometimes the conversations, can be led a bit astray. This conversation occurred as we were driving home last week. Mind you, not passing anything to have spurred it on.

Sister 1: Mommy, if someone came up to you and gave you a free horse, what do you think you would name it? Top 2 names?
Me: I have no idea, I have not really thought about it. And I would probably have to see the horse and its personality to find a good name.
Sister 2: I know what I would name it. Sara or Isabella.
Sister 1: Yeah, I know what I would name it also.

Between the two of them they continued this conversation until we pulled up in our driveway, weighing the merits of various horse names.

It's just baffling to me because these conversations can be about anything. Describe in detail a hypothetical dress your would wear to a party. At least they are using their imaginations and not wrestling. And they are prepared on the off chance that someone walks up to them (in our suburban home) and presents them a horse. :)
