Quiet or Silent?

David (4) likes little special stuffed animals - a dinosaur, a raccoon, a skunk, a dog, etc. He call them his babies, and sometimes they come with us in the car, or some days he shares them with me, and most often they stay in his bed with him.

David and Daniel (6) share a room. When they go to bed, Joseph tells them if they should be "quiet" or "silent." Quiet means they can talk quietly for a while. Silent is pretty self-explanatory.

David was in bed by himself without Daniel Saturday night (Daniel was up playing a game with his cousins). David came out of his room and sweetly asked, "Mom, is it quiet or silent?"

"Well," I said, a little puzzled, "I guess it can be quiet, but who are you going to talk to?"

With a big smile, he said, "My babies!" :-)

Of course!!!
