Mrs. Ipee or is it Mississippi?

Today we were driving to get some lunch to celebrate Austin's fever breaking and Karlee saw a sign for a missing cat on the telephone pole. The kids have a teacher at school who has been missing her cat and the kids are all very aware of it. Karlee looks for these posters everywhere we go. This is how her conversation with Austin went about the cat.
Karlee- Look there's Mrs. Ipee's cat's picture!
Austin- Huh? Who's cat?
Karlee- You know the teacher at school who lost her cat?
Austin- Oh you mean Mrs. Clarks cat?
Karlee- Ya, that's whose cat it is!
Austin- Then who is Mrs. Ipee?
Karlee- I don't know....
Mom- Isn't Mrs. Ipee really a state like Utah?
Austin- (laughing) Yes, it is a state!
Karlee- (confused look on her face) Oh I thought it was the name of a teacher at school!

I about died laughing when this conversation was over! Who knew that Mississippi could be confused with Mrs. Ipee and not turn out to be a REAL person?! Poor blonde Karlee! I love that kid!

I love listening to my kids conversations too. It provides a real insight on their world, and it's very entertaining for my world too!

That is adorable. I will never hear "Mississippi" again and not think of "Mrs. Ipee."
