the kid Conversations

A bunch of you asked if we’d be continuing this series from Young House Life over here after this post, and the answer is yes. So… happy Saturday! And happy Mother’s Day to all the ladies out there who are celebrating it (says the bleary eyed sleep-deprived mom who wouldn’t have it any other way).

Convo #1
the kid (stalling before bedtime): Wait! Before bed let’s talk about my room!
Mom: What about your room?
the kid: My fairy lights.
Mom: What about them? 
the kid: They make… my eyes… feel… so… round. 

Convo #2
the kid (randomly in the middle of breakfast after looking down at her outfit): I have the most beautiful dress in Virginia.

Convo #3
the kid (looking through an old People magazine & pointing to a gold Oscar statue from the Academy Awards): What’s that? 
Mom: That’s called an Oscar statue.
the kid: The Oscar statue looks like a big fruit snack. 

Convo #4
the kid (after throwing a ball in the air and catching it before it hit the ground): I’m a hero! Or maybe I’m not.

Convo #5:
the kid (after we got home from the hospital with the kid): Today I’m going to name him the kid, and then next time I’m going to name him Butch, and then next time I’m going to name him Barnacle, and then next time he’ll be the kid again!
