have YOU ever been snowballing?

this morning's conversation on the way to school:

me: Emma, we are going to Colorado this winter for your first ski trip.
em: really?
me: yes baby, you are finally old enough for ski school. they teach you everything you need to know. and the best part: when you fall, it doesn't even hurt because the snow feels like a pillow.
em (trying to sound older than 3): so mom, didja ever go snowballing out there?
me: what the???
em: well it's when you throw snowballs at each other. :-)

oh, shes getting a snowball right in her face. haha!
