You don't say...

Here are a few funnies from this week, courtesy of Jonah and a 9 year old boy we were babysitting.

The boys were playing a game, in which they were pretending to turn each other to stone. (Think Freeze Tag). Later on, we went out to lunch at Bob Evans. While sitting there waiting for their food, the boys were talking about the game. My five year old ended up yelling “Nope. I’m not STONED!”

A bit later, the food arrived. The boys were counting their smiley face fries. Each time they ate one, they’d say how many were left. At one point, the boy I sit for, (we’ll call him R) announced he had twins left. Jonah looked at his own plate and announced that he had triplets. R ended up stating (LOUDLY) “I know how you get twins”. Of course I asked how, thinking he’d say something cute like you pray to God twice, or something cute and childlike. Wrong. He said (LOUDLY) “You do it twice in a row”.

O.M.G.
I ‘bout choked on my Wildfire Chicken Salad.
Kudos to his 12 year old sister for promptly changing the subject.

The kid is 9. I knew he had shown some curiousity on the subject. I knew his parents had gotten him a kid-friendly book to help explain things. I did NOT know he knew the term “do it” or that he’d bring up that subject IN A RESTAURANT. Oh my.

And, finally, that brings us to today. Jonah got on the school bus this morning and said to the driver “Hello, King of the Munchkins!”
