My boy wanted to use chopsticks during dinner tonight. He was very successful - only because he would stab a piece of chicken and eat it off the chopstick. After he did this a few times, I asked him what the other chopstick was for. He took one in each hand, speared chicken on each and ate both pieces at once. He's nuts.

A few weeks ago, I was playing with my baby son. (He's six months now)

He's learned how to fake-cough, and he was doing it then. And every time he "coughed", I would say "cough! That's a cough!" And he thought that was funny. So I started saying it even when he didn't cough, and he would laugh. Then, for whatever reason, I morphed "cough" into "coffee".

Apparently, coffee is really funny to my son. He laughed his little head off for at least ten minutes. Even now, weeks later, if you say "coffee" to my son, he'll at least crack a smile, if not laugh outright.

(The latest word is frappacino. I dunno if he's going to love caffeine or hate it when he's older, but he sure thinks it's funny now.)

My eleven year old son is in some kind of stage where his attention span has dropped to "as soon as he walks out of a room, what you said is dismissed". The kid gets straight A's in school but if you tell him to not forget something be prepared to follow up with the exact same instructions 5 minutes from now. Last night's conversation, I was cleaning everyone's iPhone.

"Daniel, let me see your phone."
"What phone?" "
"The phone in your hand, genius."
"My iPhone?"(honest puzzled look on his face at this point).....
"Yes, your iPhone."
"Ok, I'll go get it, be right back, it's in my room." Tears out of the living room at a dead sprint to his bedroom."
"DANIEL!(My wife and I laughing hysterically at this point) Your phone is IN YOUR HAND." Sudden shoe squeaking noises in the hallway as he stops.
"Oh yeah, didn't see it.".....

It's going to be an interesting next few years...lol

Sounds exactly like my 7-year-old boy. (almost every single conversation goes just like that... sometimes I laugh, lately I just want to cry)

Yes it does. I guess it's cheap entertainment because he keeps up cracking up these days....I can remember a time, doesn't seem like too long ago where he was razor sharp as far as asking questions about everything, but now he's often times just kind of a space cadet when it comes to day to day operations..lol

It's usually comical but it gets exhausting after a while. Daniel had his best friend over to spend the night last weekend, Mason, he's 11 years old also. I asked each of them what type of pizza they wanted from Pizza Hut for supper. You would have thought I asked them to solve the Theory of Relativity or something. They looked at each other, looked at me, looked at each other and just kept muttering, "I don't know, what do you want" back and forth to each other.....I was trying to be funny and told them both "This isn't a 'who's on first' skit, guys, just tell me what kind of pizza you want." They both looked at me and Daniel says "What's that mean?" I just shook my head, ran down a list of pizza toppings and finally got them to make a decision. I do NOT remember being this goofy when I was 11. I'll have to ask my mother....

Funny little coincidence yesterday.

I brought home a new bird, a buddy for my current parakeet. I was watching the two birds get acquainted and thinking of what I should name the new guy. I have a tendency to think out loud--or talk to myself, if you like that better--and lately I've been directing my babble towards my son. He seems to like being included in my conversations, even though he can't join in or even understand what I'm saying. And I feel a little better having a visible person to talk to, instead of just answering the voices in my head all the time. ;;D

Anyway, as I'm tossing names out there, I came up with Raine. I said, "How about Raine? I like that name."
I wasn't even looking at my son as I said this; I was holding him on my left hip, and looking at the birdcage.

Now, I'm sure it must be complete coincidence, but what happened next was too sweet to ignore. My son reached up, put his little hands on either side of my face, and gave me a great big baby kiss. It was quite deliberate, and I felt like he was letting me know that he liked that name, too.

Needless to say, coincide or not, the bird's name is Raine now. :biggrin2:
