Lilly and the Birthstones

Lilly came home from school just a little while ago.  She was doing her homework at the coffee table, when she took a break from it to come over and have the following conversation with me:

Lilly:  "I wish my birthday was in April".

Me:  "Why"?

Lilly:  "Because the birthstone for April is a diamond".

Me:  "You know what?  I used to wish that very same thing when I was a little girl".

Lilly:  "What's your birthstone"?

Me (wrinkling my nose):  "A garnet...it's really really really dark red & I hate it".

Lilly:  "What's my birthstone, an emerald"?

Me:  "No, yours is green, but it's a peridot".

Lilly:  "Is it shiny like a diamond"?

Me:  "Well, kind of, but it's a really light, pretty green".

Lilly:  "Do you know what the WORST rock is"?

Me:  "What"?

Lilly:  "TALC".



LOL!  Here's hoping your birthstone isn't talc!  :D
