10-year-old's first comment when picking him up afterschool on Friday, "Mom, jumping off of the swings is sooo exhilarating!"--Yes, honey, it is. Oh, to go back to those days. And, I wonder if he can spell "exhilarating"?
8-year-old who has been limping around on a sore heel for two weeks, "Mom, how is this going to get better?" Mom, "by resting it." 8-year-old, "Yeah, like that is going to happen."--Self-knowledge is half of the battle . . .
Watching the famous John Wayne movie The Cowboys with the family, and 8-year-old says,"what are they doing with all of those cows?" Mom replies, "well, they are moving them from one town to another to try to sell them." 8-year-old replies, "So that's why they are called, 'cow boys'? That's dumb."--Well, honey, I'm not sure that the American Old West was the linguistic capital of the world.
"Mom are we going to Church tomorrow?" 8-year-old asks. Mom replies, "Well, honey, that depends." "On what, if Daddy sleeps on the couch tonight?" 8-year-old reasons.--Much funnier if one doesn't know that Daddy has been sleeping on the couch because he has been sick with bronchitis.
So, E's not impressed with "cow boys," eh? Love the honesty. : )
ReplyDeleteMaybe E would have been more impressed if he knew that they were also called "cow punchers."
