“Mommy?”
“Yes?”
“One day, I’m going to grow up and mow the grass, ok?”
“Ok, that sounds like a great plan.”
“And also? I’m going to play the Wii without dying. That’s what happens when you grow up. You mow and are really good at the Wii, right?”
**I guess grown ups have all the luck, don’t they?**
Kid 1: “So, why am I part Irish?”
Mom: “Your great Grandmother was born in Ireland-that makes her Irish.”
Kid 2: “Where was I born?”
Mom: “Lewisville.”
Kid 2: “So I’m part Lewisville then? And part Keller? and part Decatur?”
**You just can’t argue with that logic, can you?**
Mommy: “What are you doing?”
Kid 3: “Getting a knife and a fork.”
Mommy: “Ummm, you don’t need those. Go play with your brother.”
Kid 3: “But I NEEEEEEEEEEEEED THEM!! He has the hiccups and I have to get them out!”
I think my mantra of “being a problem solver” might have gone a little too far….
“I can remember the first time I had to go to sleep. Mom said, ‘Steven, time to go to sleep.’ I said, ‘But I don’t know how.’ She said, ‘It’s real easy. Just go down to the end of tired and hang a left.’ So I went down to the end of tired, and just out of curiosity I hung a right. My mother was there, and she said ‘I thought I told you to go to sleep.’”

I overheard this conversation transporting kids around this weekend. That’s the best time to see just what’s on their little minds, don’t you think? I found this one extra entertaining….and I guess I need to learn a little more about that Justin Bieber guy. Or the planets…that might be a little more interesting to this nerdy mom.
Kid 1: “Justin Bieber is soooooooo hot!”Kid 2: “I know! I soooooooooooo think he’s hot too!”
Kid 1: “He’s as hot as the sun!”
Kid 2: “No, he’s as hot as Jupiter!”
Kid 3: “Actually, if he’s as hot as a planet, he should be as hot as Mercury or Venus. Jupiter’s actually pretty cold.”
True friends are those who, when you make a fool of yourself, don’t believe that this condition is permanent.”

Mother Nature, in her infinite wisdom, has instilled within each of us a powerful biological instinct to reproduce; this is her way of assuring that the human race, come what may, will never have any disposable income. ~Dave Barry
