Conversation in the car today.Kenny: "Mom, if I don't pretend to be a spider and don't bite you, can I play the Cars XBox game when we get home?"
Me: "Um...are you asking for me to reward you with a video game for not biting me."
Kenny: "Yep. That's the deal."
Me: "Well, how about we don't play games today because I already told you no and you don't bite me because you're not a heathen."
Kenny (long pause): 'I think I like my deal better."
He has been extra imaginative lately. Today, he decided to make a time machine. He brought me all the little pieces he had cut out of paper and a stapler. He then directed me how each piece should be stapled to create a 3D model of the machine. We do this for him all the time when he tells us how to make Star Wars ships, but we have always used tape. A stapler just couldn't hold the seams in the right way. I tried to explain that to him, but you can guess how that conversation went. So here I am, taking directions from a 5 year old to maneuver a stapler in a way that it was not designed to be used. I finally finished what I think he wanted done and handed it to him. He looked at it, then looked at me, then back to the machine. Finally, he shrugged and said, "I guess that's good enough. You did try your best and let your heart be true."
Well, thank you son, that means a lot.

If only you could tap into his head and see what he sees. He's so interesting. I love to hear how he thinks. He's way beyond his years. And very sweet.
LOL! He is so dang funny! I always wonder where he comes up with stuff.
I had a good laugh! Love the picture!
