Sometimes the kids say things that really make me stop and think, "What the heck are they talking about?" or "Should I be seriously worried about what is going on in their little, developing brains?"
In a single car ride, we had three different conversations that kind of got me wondering...
Conversation #1:
Maxx: Oh, man, that car passed us! Faster, Daddy, faster. All 'dose cars passed us!
Me: It's not a race Maxx.
We might need to hold off a little longer than normal for Maxx to get his driver's license. With his obsession with racing and crashing, I'm thinking he might not be the safest driver.
Conversation #2:
Talking about winning and losing.
Kyla: I know. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose.
Me: Right. The important thing is that you always try your hardest.
Jedd: Yep. Sometimes you don't win, but there is nothing you can do about it.
Maxx: You can BEW (shoot) 'dem!
- pause to recover from shock and stifle laughter -
Me: Well, Maxx, in most situations, bewing people is not going to be appropriate.
Maxx: If 'dey pirates. If 'dey bad pirates!
Me: I guess if they're bad pirates...
Conversation #3:
We saw some deer cross the road, near a lake, and Jedd explained that they were probably getting a drink of water.
Jedd: Deer go to the water in the morning and in the evening.
Kyla: But not during the day?
Jedd: No, they usually bed down during the day.
Maxx: And 'dey break 'dey heads off?
Uh?!?!?!?!?!
