That's No Good

Tom and I are headed to a birthday party for some friends of ours. It's an actual adult party with no children and no bouncy house! I needed to go pick up something for them.



Me (to Thomas): I'm going to the store to get a birthday present for Zack and Nikki since we are going to their party tonight. I'll be back soon.

Thomas: What are you getting them?

Me: A bottle of wine.

Thomas: That's not a very good birthday present.

Me: For an adult it is.

Thomas: I don't think so. Maybe a Finn McMissile transformer thing that shoots those missiles?

Me: Is that what you would buy me for my birthday?

Thomas: Yes.

Me: I would not love that.

Thomas: But, I would love that.



It's all about perspective I guess.

Um, It's Complicated

At the dinner table......

Thomas (to Tom): Before you knew mommy, I lived in her belly.

Tom and I (laughing): No, first mommy and daddy met, then we fell in love then we got married then you were in mommy's belly.

Thomas: How did I get there?


Crickets chirping......Parents' heart rate increasing......Panicked looks across the table....


Tara (panic stricken): Um, mommy and daddy put you there together.

Thomas: How?

Tom (also panic stricken): Um, it's complicated. You might have to be older before you understand.



Quick change of subject and disaster averted! We were NOT prepared for that conversation.
