The KidSpeak category has been big this week. Perhaps all the running has made me loopy and easily entertained.
We had Alfredo Broccoli Fettucine tonight. After we had discussed the menu several times, 5 finally piped up, “Mom, why do you keep saying I’m afraid of broccoli. I’m not afraid of it. I just don’t like it.”
In case you’ve been wondering, running still hates me. But we’ve started working on it.
4: Grandma, are you a lawyer? You know everything.
Grandma: No
5: No, 4, Lawyers don’t know everything, they just think they do.
Grandma: Oh really, do you know any lawyers?
5: Nope.
Grandma didn’t have the heart to break the news.
“Dad,” said 5 at dinner tonight, “do you like your bratwurst?”
“What?” replied hubs, who’d not heard the question.
“Nevermind,” said 5, “it was a retalky question.”
“A ‘retalky’ question?”
“Yeah, one you that you don’t really need to answer - retalky.”
