Well wishing

Ever so often, I find myself in one of those moments of motherhood that are completely unexplainable. You're not sure whether the story you're about to tell is funny or scary, or both.
This is one of those stories.

While driving in the car the other day J. began, mediated, and concluded an entire conversation all by himself.
He said, "Momma, can we get a well for our backyard?"
He paused a moment. (I was observing him through my special kiddy mirror.)
He then said, "No, we better not get one. I might be tempted to put my little sister in it. THAT wouldn't be good."
A bit later he added, "I guess we probably shouldn't get a well for our backyard."

Hmmmmm....... Ya think?
(He does have surprisingly great reasoning skills for a 4-year old.)

I am actually laughing out loud. That's so funny.

Lots of prayers going up for that one. It's good that he came to the conclusion that that would be a bad thing. Focus on that.

this is so funny. where do kids come up with that?! and the way you tell it is hysterical.

i'm agreeing with the need for girl time and you being the one for the job...

did you realize your new background is the same as Cassandra's new blog about love letters? That totally threw me off. =)

Kudos to J for thinking that one through. What a funny guy!

lol - and he has acting qualities as well. Is it more frightening that he can play your part as well as you or that he has a conversation with you, without you? hmmmm... ;)
