My Two Favorite Conversations of the Day

This morning:


(2nd grader): My dad is my hero, because he works at the Police Station.
Me: Oh, what does he do there?
W: Um, I don't know.
(another 2nd grader): Wait, you mean your dad is a cub scout leader AND he has a job?
W(smiling proudly): Yup .
(truly shocked): Wow.


Just now:

Dad: Here, hun, you have to drink this Ensure.
Mom: No I don't.
Dad: Yes you do.
Mom: No I don't.
Dad: Yes you do.
Mom: You can't make me.
Dad: Yes I can.
Mom: No you can't.
Dad: Yes I can. I will waterboard you if I have to.
Mom: You don't even know HOW to do that.

Too funny!

I had an IEP meeting for one of my 6th graders the other day and his teacher was getting after him about his attendance. "You were tardy three times this week! You didn't show up until lunch!"

He looked truly insulted and shot back, "I wasn't tardy! I was late!"

Hilarious. I wish I was there for both.

Your Dad may not know how to do it, but he could look it up on wikipedia like I did. (I wasn't sure what it was and I wanted to enjoy that conversation to the upmost!)

I love your 2nd grader conversations! Cub Scout leader is a very taxing thing to do, I don't think I'd want a full time job and to work with Scouts...actually, I just don't want to work with Scouts, ever.

I wish I could look at your class blog. How fun. I'm sorry about your mom. You have such a good attitude about it. Are you and Ryan still "hanging out"?
