The Ozmerican Life

Last night, Quaid, Ava and I were settling down before bed with a nice bowl of popcorn. Daddy and Jentzen were gone....Keira was in bed sleeping (aka singing to herself in a loud screechy but oh so cute pitch)

I snatched a few pieces from the bowl.....

Q and A: "Hey! Mom!!!!"

Me: "Thanks for sharing :)"

A: "Once we swallow something down our throat, mom, we can't get it back."

Me: "That's right Ava."

A: "Unless we have really long arms."

Q: "Yeah and skinny too."

A: "Skinny like Keira's hand."

Q: "Yeah but really long."

I'd like to see that happen.

And earlier that day....

J: "Hot samich" ("sandwich" for those of you that don't understand 2 year old dialect) "Mom can you blow on it." (smiling with a cute pleading look)

Me: "Well, where are your lips?"

J: (pausing while his smile dropped off, with a serious scrunchy eyebrow look) "I took them off!!!"

Me: "Really?"

J: "Yep, and swallowed them down my froat!" (Again, "throat" in 2 year old talk)

Me: "Wow Jentzen, that's pretty talented."

J: "Yeah it is!!!!! They're not comin' back!"

I love how kids lives live in a land of non-reality. So innocent...if it sounds good to them, then why not! When and Why do we ever grow out of this??
