My 12 year old son continues to baffle me with how he can make straight A's in school yet start conversations like this one from last night:

"Hey dad, did you hear the new iPhone 7 isn't going to have a talk feature?"

"What do you mean?"

"You aren't going to be able to make calls, it's going to be text only."

".......Huh?"

"Yeah. Some kids at school were talking about it today. That really doesn't seem fair to people who buy the phone."

"I don't get it."

"Get what?"

"The joke. I don't get the joke you're making."

"I'm not joking. You're not going to be able to make phone calls."

"Daniel, do you honestly believe an iPHONE would come unequipped to make phone calls? I think you mean it won't be equipped with a headphone jack. That's what I've read about it the last few days."

"Ohhhhhhh. Ok. I get it. That does make a little more sense.......Wouldn't it be weird if it did come unequipped to make phone calls? That would be kind of cool."

(Trying not to shake my head while talking)....."Yes that would be pretty weird if the iPHONE didn't make phone calls."

"LOL, yeah that would be a weird thing to carry around a phone that doesn't make phone calls...I'm going to go finish up my homework."

"You need any help?"

"No, it's multiplying fractions, it's easy."

"Ok, Don't huff any more paint or anything ok?"

"Huh?"

"Nevermind."

A quick ninja back flip over the end of the couch for his exit and it's off to his room where the oxygen level must be too low or something.....geeezzzzz.....This kid continues to amuse and amaze me on an almost daily basis...lol

Great story.

Public school?

I don't know if I've mentioned this before, because it's not the first time he's done it.

My grandson is turning 4. He was talking to us on the phone and he starts walking around and giving us a tour. "Here's our trampoline, that's the tv. My potty is over there". Apparently he even holds the phone out, aiming it, so we can see what he's talking about.

Nah, not hopeless. You have a genius on your hands. Just don't be surprised when he starts wearing mis-matched socks and scribbling formulae all over the walls. ;;D

The mis-matched socks aren't too far off as it is. I have to pair up his clothes and space them out in his closet because he grabs the FIRST shirt and pair of shorts out of the closet, with absolutely no regard to what color they are. He has also been known to wear his shirt backwards on more than one occasion. I used to question him on things like why he was wearing green basketball shorts and an orange shirt to school, but now I just make sure he HAS a shirt and shorts on before I leave for work and call it good. Pick your battles.....:facepalm_smiley:

Just wait till he discovers girls. Designer clothes and matching will be a must. Then again.............. Good luck!

We went to our son's for dinner. His kids are so funny.

I have a gap in my teeth. (Think David Letterman.) I don't know why, but my grandson suddenly noticed it. He was sitting on my lap chattering away and suddenly he says "Grandma! What happened?" He dramatically covers his own mouth with his hands. "You lost your tooth." Poor kid was almost in tears....he's so empathetic. I finally convinced him it's just a gap and it doesn't hurt.

When we were eating dinner in the yard, the kids were both dropping some of their food. (He's almost 4 and she's 2.) Two of the dogs were content to grab what they could off the ground. But the lab...she was getting what she could off the chairs while the kids were sitting there. The little one looks at the dog and very sternly says "Callie. (S)top it." And when Callie did not stop....she growled at the dog. It worked.

RJ made me laugh yesterday for 15 minutes. He sneezed and tooted at the same time. Then he ran up to Scott, as serious as can be, and said, "Papa!!! I just sneezed and it came out my butt!"

The way he said it was just too much. Like it was just this amazing thing. I was rolling.
That is funny!

The little boy I baby sit had an icky diaper the other day. I can't STAND to have kids in messy pants. One of my all time pet peeves. They are changed immediately in my sphere of influence.

Anyway, I grabbed him up and took him in to change, and said, "Let's get these nasty britches off of you! Ick!" And he said, "ewww, nasty b*tches."

And he calls daddy's truck, daddy's "c*ck." Or, he has a fire "c*ck." Try not to laugh at that one.

The parents made sure I knew exactly what he was talking about when he started this so there would be no misunderstandings.

hahahha!

Watching the kids for a few days. I asked dgs if he likes fish. He said yes. I said would you like tuna sandwiches for lunch. He starts running around the house yelling "yay! We'ew having tune sandwiches with fish! yay! We're having tunas sandwiches with fish!"

Suddenly he stops, walks up to me and asks "is tuna the fish in the sandwiches?"

Here this thread is....


So my son has fallen in love with the "Minions" movie. Have you guys seen it? You know Scarlet Overkill? The greatest female super villain of all time? Yeah. Well. My son was watching this film the other night and Mrs. Overkill was on screen. I'm in the kitchen, and suddenly I hear, "Mamma!"


Yep. He was pointing at Scarlet. Yay.

The best part....my 19 year speaks fluent toddler. We now have a specific gift to look for.

The kids love dress-up clothes.They have princess dresses, astronaught, unicorn. They do not have a construction worker.

No toys, including dress up, are boy toys or girl toys. They both dress as monsters or princesses.
