Morning Conversations

This morning my 4-year old son said "Mom. My spit tastes like metal. Echh."

And my 9-year old daughter said, as she was rubbing the crusties out of her sleepy eyes, "I had such a strange dream. I dreamed I was selling those 'no soliciting' signs door to door. That's so weird." I love that my daughter understands irony at the age of 9.

That's so much better than, "Old Lady! Get me some French toast!"

Carina said...

Or "MMMMMM, butter!"

Knowing you, and knowing irony, I KNOW how funny this must have been.

I can just imagine a real door-to-door salesperson trying to eliminate the competition that way.

My daughter wakes up in the morning SCREAMING, "Daddy...Daddy...Daddy!!!" at 5:30 a.m. It's really awesome. I think I'd prefer the irony, unless it's at 5:00 a.m.

Sister Pottymouth said...

Sambo, you have goofy parents.

dalene said...

It's all good. You can still understand irony without being able to define it.

...Which is actually kind of ironic too, when you think about it.
