Connor: Mommy, when I get to be a grown up, I am going to be a mommy-
Me: No, Connor, you get to be a daddy. Boys grow up to be daddies and girls grow up to be mommies.
Connor: Why are girls (pronounced grills) mommies?
Me: Because that’s how God made us.
Connor: When I get to be a grown up, I am going to be a daddy. And I am going to go to the aquarium (pronounced aquarMimum). And I am going to be the driver and the other daddy…
Me: You mean your daddy?
Connor: Yes, my daddy. He’s going to be the passenger and I’m going to be the driver. That’s what happens when I get growed up.
Love it. Need to write more of these down for scrapping ideas. I just spent the past two days scrapping with Cindi, so I am definitely in scrapping mode!
One more funny convo. with Connor…
(I’m changing into my pajamas. Connor is sitting on the bed.)
C– Mommy, what’s that stamp? Do you have a stamp on your bottom?
Me-Yup, I do.
C-Why?
(very tempted to answer “because God made it that way”, which is my answer for about half of the 12 billion questions he asks each day, but I refrain.)
Me-Just because I like it.
Connor-oh.
And just for the record, I wasn’t mooning my son. My “stamp” is on my lower back…eeking every so slightly onto my bottom.
Those are some great conversations! So innocent!! I love the “stamp” comment!!! So fun, that boy!
RM – You know that stamp is closer to your rear than your back!!! Mackenzie’s calls them tattoos and she loves mine! :0) I am getting another one – it will happen – I almost got one last night – I have been tempted to just go get it in the middle of the day by myself – am I kind of a loser for that?
Connor is so funny! Maybe someday Connor can get a stamp too!
um, so I was just browsing on the Inlow’s blogs & I found something so funny!
Does Jessica McClure ring a bell?? Ha – playing dolls!! You’re so funny Meg!!! I love that you’re just you!!
LOL! Great conversation! Hope you keep writing those down! That will be so fun to look back at with C when he’s older.
RM – I loved looking through your flikr pics – congrats to Patrick for graduating!
Um, I believe your “stamp” is in the middle of your cheek (I remember a comment such as this . . . “I put it in a place where only Derek and I — and the tatoo guy with is nose pierced, my sister, son, mother and brother can see it). And, from one who has seen it, I believe you were mooning your son!!
