On Calendars

The Mom: Why do you want a calendar for Christmas?
The 4 y.o.: Because I want to know what day of the week it is and what day comes next. And I want a little chocolate behind every day.
The Mom: So you want a chocolate advent calendar for the whole year?
The 4 y.o.: Yes. But I don’t want pictures of Santa and snow. I want princesses and fish.
