Conversation with the boy

This is a recent conversation my hubby had with our boy:

Where does Jelly come from?


Boy: "I don't like jelly."

Me: "Why?"

Boy: "Because it comes from jellyfish, and I don't like fish."

Me: *Laughing my ass off*

Boy: "And how do they not get stung when they get the jelly from the jellyfish?"

Me: I now have tears in my eyes and am having a hard time driving...


For some reason I think our boy is going to blow us all away with some important discovery one day. He is always coming up with random questions that you would normally never think of. And when he is famous we will remind him of these questions and he'll deny that he ever said it at all!

One of my favorites was about my hubby. Brandon is very allergic to cats. So the kids were talking one day and asked me,

"if Brandon was a cat would he be allergic to himself?"

Of course I laughed and couldn't really come up with an answer. They still ask me the same question to this day.

Another one of our favorites was a conversation we overheard happening in the backseat. It went a little like this:

Boy: I'm gonna shave it all off when I grow up.

Girl: Yeah thats probably a good idea

Me: What are you going to shave off? (thinking it was probably the hair on his head)

Boy: My back hair

Brandon: Your back hair? You don't have any back hair.

Me: laughing hysterically

Me: (after taking a few deep breaths) Why do you want to do that, especially since you don't have any back hair. (his dad has back hair and I'm guessing must shave it)

Boy: I will have it when I grow up and its gross

Brandon: you probably won't have to worry about that

boy: YES I WILL

Brandon & me: (can't stop laughing)

Boy: It's not funny!!!

Brandon & me: (stiflingly laughter)

Me: Oh honey we aren't laughing at you Brandon just told me a funny joke... (only a little white lie won't hurt, right?)

Still to this day if we hear anything about back hair we laugh, just can't help it.

Brandon has a friend at work that asks him for stories or questions from "the boy". She says its what will make her smile all day long. Now of course our boy would not find it amusing at all that we all find him hilarious because he is very very serious about his question and observations. Which of course makes it even funnier.

Okay, so obviously I am starting to miss my kids. They are gone to their dad's house for the whole month of July. Which is very nice for us, we love the break. But I do miss the daily interaction and the hugs and kisses. For some reason, I think I can hold out, its really nice to have a month off!! The month away from them makes me appreciate the time I have them even more.
