Snippet of Conversation

Little Dude and I are in the car the other day. I'm having a really good time testing him on his spelling words and just talking to him in general.

I say, "you know what? I like going places with you. You're a good companion."

He replies, "I like going places with you, too. You're an excellent companion. I like our private time together."

"You don't like sharing me?"

"Most of the time? No. I like having you all to myself."

"What about Mojo? You don't like sharing me with your sister?"

"Eh, I don't mind sharing you with Mojo."

"What about Greg? Did you mind sharing me with him?"

"Well, at first I was really jealous of him, but I got over it. I decided one day that I liked him too and that we could share you."

"Jealous?"

"Moooooooooooom! Yes. I was jealous, okay? Get over it! I did."

Sheesh!

Then, a bit later.....we're driving again and I'm in the far left lane on the freeway.

"Mom, are you going to go to the middle lane at all?"

"I am. When it's safe. Why? You don't like this lane?"

"Oh, I don't not like this lane. I'm just a middle of the road kind of guy."

He's seven.

as long as he didn't call himself a MODERATE.... that word is discusting.

What a dude. You are a very lucky woman to have such a special bloke in your life.

Wow, pretty insightful. I love it when kids get old enough to have coherent conversations like that.

Boys are special, and every mom who has a son knows just what I mean: stories like this wonderful one you just shared! Thanks!

You have 7yo, too! Sounds like my Littlest Guy - I'll have to bring him down to Sea (sadly captive but nontheless entertaining intelligent mammal) World & introduce them...

Now that's what I call a child who can communicate! Yay for both of you! Good times!

Too funny. Big mind for a little kid. It catches you by surprise, doesn't it?
