“Mom, I want that thing. I want the thing, Mom. Mommmm, I neeeeed the thing.”
“What thing?” I finally answered the poor insistent boy.
“The thing with the thingies on it!” his face lit up as if that explained it all. I couldn’t help myself. I grabbed him and whirled him around as I laughed.
“Where is it then?” I asked hoping his answer would shed some light on the mystery.
“It disappeared!”
I’m afraid I never figured this one out, but I was able to distract him with my laughter, hugs, and kisses.
🙂 I wonder what it was???
I suppose we will never know what it was now. I have had conversations like that with my son, sometimes they think you are a mind reader.
Love your posts, Esther…your kids are so cute!
How sweet! The other day as our family was walking, one of my sons lifted his jacket behind him as if it was a superhero cape. His facial expression showed that he pictured something way more glorious than what he was actually doing. I smiled because I could see what his mind was picturing.
Perhaps it was a UFO. I wrote down some of the funny things I heard kids say when I taught kindergarten through 2nd grade: http://daisybrain.wordpress.com/2009/10/28/funny-things-kids-have-said/
