When a boy has a splinter in his foot and tweezers don't work, daddy must then bust out the old needle.

And when a needle is produced, you get gigantic crocodile tears and one very sad boy...

Noah was yelling "Daddy, don't hurt me!" in the middle of the aforementioned operation.

David calmly replied, "Noah, the last thing I want to do is hurt you!"

Ahem. Insert BIG misunderstanding by Noah and even larger tears being produced.

Why?

Well, after I did this for him...

... we had this conversation:

N: Daddy really wanted to hurt me!

Me: No he didn't. Why do you think that?

N: Because he said he did! He said "The last thing I want to do is hurt you." See? It was the last thing he wanted to do! He wanted to do it!

Me: Noah, when daddy says that, it means that hurting you is the very last thing in the world he would ever want to do. Y'know, like he would rather poke his own eye out before he would ever want you to be hurt.

N: Oooohhhhh.

I speak boy talk, as evidenced by my poke-his-eye-out analogy that Noah obviously related very well to.

Be impressed. At least momentarily.

Please?

I am *very impressed!* I speak Girl, and it sometimes weirds me out. Having grown up with older sisters helps me get the mindset more. Imagine how our Daddy had to scale down Himself so he could speak Human. Wow, this parenthood stuff is amazing!

It never ceases to amaze me how literal kids are. What a great job you did understanding him and explaining this to him. He's a lucky boy to have a mom who speaks his language!

I am impressed...good job. :) It's good to be able to speak boy when you need to. I have 1 son and 3 daughters, and I sometimes feel it's easier to speak "boy" than "girl"...go figure. :p

Nice to see two of my favorite bloggers commenting on here too... :D

I love this, because I *just* realized (as in big ol' epiphany yesterday) that I NEED to speak "boy" much more often AND that I've been speaking "girl" thanks to my first-born. I guess I need to be bi-lingual. LOL
