Out of the Mouths of Babes
|
My five year old is so funny and he doesn't even know it. In fact, he gets mad at you when you laugh because he's so serious about what he's saying. A few nights ago, I finally got all of my children in bed, and was on the phone with my husband (who is out of town right now). Then I hear this crying and fussing and I can't make out the words. I went in to see what he was so upset about -- and this was the conversation that ensued: Me: "What's wrong Grey?" G: "Tanner just took my bunny; mine was 'sposed' to be the 'banilla' one and he just took it." Me: "Huh"? G: "I wanted the 'banilla' one and he took it. I didn't want the chocolate one. He always just does that." Me: "Are you talking about Easter?" G: "Yes, and the 'banilla' one was mine." Me: "Greyson, Easter was months ago." (At this point I can hear my husband laughing through the phone...the phone that is not up to my ear at the moment). G: "I know mom, but it's not fair." Me: "Why are we talking about Easter? It was months ago." G: "But I wanted the 'banilla' one and he just took it and that's not nice." Me: "Okay, well, lets talk about this in the morning okay?" G: "Okay" Me: "Sleep tight, sweet dreams" G: "Sleep tight, sweet dreams" And, he has yet to mention it again. Do you have any idea how hard it was to hold back laughter during this conversation? Why he had Easter on his mind, and why he decided that he was jilted out of the 'banilla' bunny is anyone's guess. What, they both don't realize is that the vanilla bunny was meant for Blake! Couldn't exactly point that out to them because....how would we know?? Only the Easter Bunny knows for sure who the vanilla bunny was meant for. ;) I think I'm going to ask the Easter Bunny to make them all the same next year! |
