Tiny Talk Tuesday
Mary is hosting Tiny Talk Tuesday today and I’m glad to be participating. I had a conversation this week that I’m sure I will want to remember forever.
My son, age 5, was in the bathroom, and he was doing what little boys do in there when they are sitting down and singing.
I was sitting on the couch trying to read a story to my 3 year old, about Pilgrims and the first Thanksgiving. I know it is February, but the quest for knowledge is never ending around here.
Anyway, I’m reading along about our country’s first feast and I hear my name being called from the bathroom,
”Mom?”
“Remember when you went to Hawaii?”
Yes I do.
(And Lord knows if I could click my heels together three times and be dropped back on Lanikai Beach, I would do it.)
“Well you shouldn’t have gone there because they have a largest active volcano and it could be very, very dangerous because when it blows up it has like 30 gallons of hot lava.”
I know they do Honey, but I’m okay. It didn’t erupt when I was there. (And I think you are watching a little too much Travel Channel, son.)
“Okay.”
(A little more Pilgrim and Indian story reading. And a little more singing from the bathroom.) And then,
“Mom?”
Yes?
“Just so you know if you die I’m going to bury you right next to our house. Because you are the best mom in the whole wide world.”
Good to know buddy, good to know. (I think I’ll do my best to stay out of the path of any hot lava I come across though, okay?)

That is the sweetest, funniest thing ever.
And you make me laugh - “…he was doing what little boys do in there when they are sitting down and singing.” **snort** Zuddy still sings when he “sits” in the bathroom. Some things never change, do they?
You are a lucky, lucky Mom.

Aren’t those random conversations (especially the ones about death) so cute and so exhausting at the same time!??! My 5 year old can wipe out my brain capacity in one conversation with those deep thoughts! 
Too bad we can’t get our boys together and let them have a huge “What If?” conversation!! I’d love to hear it, but participation would drive me mad… LOL!
Happy TTT!

So I almost sputtered my coffee all over the laptop when I read his last statement. My next thought was what if your family moves, what will the next owners think of what has been lovingly memorialized in your sideyard? Oh my.
These conversations are priceless!

You just never know what’s going to come out when they are on The Throne.
(Ummmm. I didn’t really mean that the way it sounded. I’ll go take a nap now.)

Well there you go. That is really funny and pretty sweet.
The potty is the prime location for personal reflection and planning at our house, as well.

What a totally sweet conversation. And how young they learn that the potty is one of the greatest spots for deep thoughts. I love little punk conversations!

Oh my, that is too funny! At our house, relection occurs after I hear Husband tell D-Man (2 1/2) to get his head out of the toilet!
