Funnies

Ethan has been cracking me up a lot lately. Here's a sampling.

Yesterday morning I mentioned my colleague Liz, saying I hoped she didn't have to drive far to get in as the weather was lousy. He said, "I can't believe she used to be a pirate!" When I laughed, he said "Mom, was she a real pirate?" I guess that depends on how authentic Mystic Seaport is.

Last night, he wanted a slice of cheese. We were nearly out of sliced cheese, so I offered him a chunk cut off a block. He said no, that was smaller, so we did a science experiment with weight. I got out the scale and showed him that it’s the same amount of cheese, just in a different shape. I told him “next time, we’ll experiment with volume” and he replied, “But Mom, cheese doesn’t talk.”

Tonight, he wondered why the people on TV don't comment on the things that are in your house. I guess if we can see them, it only stands to reason that they can see us :)
