Vampires from Romania

This was our dinner conversation tonight....always amusing talking with the girls.

Me: I was asking Cristina why she keeps waking up at night. She said it's because she is a bat....vampire bat.

Emma: Vampire bats are real.  They live in Romania.

Charlotte: We are never going to Romania.  There are vampires in Romania.

Me: Who told you that?

Charlotte: Ms. Shuli told me there are vampires in Romania.  There are vampires everywhere in Romania.

Me: Not everyone from Romania is a vampire.  Mommy has a friend from Romania and she isn't a vampire.  You've even played with her kids.

Charlotte (eyes as big as saucers): With vampires?!

Me: They are not all vampires.

Charlotte: Yes, they are.  We are never going to Romania.  I am not going to visit Romania ever.  Daddy, if you ever get a ticket to Romania, just...just...just throw it in the trash can. We are not going to Romania.  If policemen go on vacation to Romania, they are going to be attacked by vampires.  We are never, ever going to Romania.

Brian (trying to change the conversation): There are wolfmen in Minnesota.  Big hairy wolfmen.

Emma: Are there wolfmen  in Georgia?

Me: No, we just have Republicans.

Emma: What are Republicans?

We have so much left to teach our children.....

Then, I decide to show Charlotte my vampire teeth and she freaks out when I bare my teeth at her.  She goes running from the room.  Brian finally coaxes her back to show her that she has the same vampire teeth that I have and tells her he married a vampire and she is part vampire.  So, now, Charlotte wants to go back to school tomorrow and tell Ms. Shuli that she is an American vampire.
