JJ: “Mommy, can you make shells and cheese for lunch?”
Me: “Sure!”
JJ: “Yay! Make them good, okay? Remember last time when you went to get your hair done and Daddy made shells and cheese? He didn’t make them good. They were yucky. So, make good ones, okay?”
♥
Out of the blue:
JJ: “Why were you born on my birthday?”
Me: “Actually, you were born on my birthday.”
JJ: “Why? Why wasn’t Bobby born on your birthday?”
Me: “I don’t know. That’s the way God planned it.”
JJ: “Oh.” Long pause to think, and then, “For my birthday when I turn 4 I want some new socks, a c.d. player and some new football pajamas. When is my birthday?”
Me: “July 22nd.”
JJ: “When is your birthday?”
Me: “July 22nd.”
More thinking and then that was the end of the conversation. You can tell he is still trying to figure out how and why we have the same birthday! It just doesn’t make sense in his world yet!!! :)

While in the car, picking up Sam from school:
JJ: “Mommy, when do I get to go to school?”
Me: “When you are 6.”
JJ: “What else do I get to do when I am 6? Drive?”
Me: “No, you have to be 14 to drive.”
JJ: “Okay, when I am 14 I am going to drive a van.” Pause, thinking, big smile, and then he said “A big black van.”
Think the chicks will dig it?
