Some times our kids make comments or ask question that remind us that they are growing up a little differently than we did. Here are some examples:
Josiah (who needed the rabies shot series about a year ago) – Mom, if I kiss the hamster, will I have to get shots?
Nathan, after rinsing his mouth several times at the dentist’s office in Quito – Oh, no, Mom, is this clean water?!
Sammy, at Maw-Maw and Pop’s house – Look, Mom, that is so cool! Their microwave has a cabinet all around it! (Ours sits on the counter.)
Josiah – Shell doesn’t have any bad guys – only bugs!
Sammy, our most adventurous eater – I only want to order fish if it has the bones and head.
Nathan, on a hike – Mom, I can climb down by myself. I’m a jungle boy!
Isaac (on our porch) – Cool, cat poop. Daddy will love it if I play with this and smear it all over me! (We don’t have a cat, but strays wander in our neighborhood frequently.)
I can’t wait to see how they grow! They have the basics we all should get back to!
