Morris: “Natalie is going to marry Daniel and I’m not invited to the wedding.”
Me: “Well, I think it’s going to be a long, long, long time before that marriage actually takes place, so you never know what will happen. You might still get an invite yet.”
Morris: “And when she and Daniel break up, then I’ll marry her!”
Me: “I thought you wanted to marry me.”
Morris: “I changed my mind. I’m going to marry… MILO!”
Me: Well, you were borne out of the love Daddy and I have for each other.”
Morris: “HUH?”
Me: “Your daddy and I loved each other and then, BAM! There you were.”
Morris: “How did I come out of your belly?”
Milo pulls up his shirt, examines his belly button. “Did his head just pop out and start looking around and you saw it and went, ‘Aaaaagh! There’s a head coming out of my belly!?'”
Milo: “X is the baddest kid in my class because he says the A-word twice a day.”
Morris: “What’s the A-word?”
Me: “Really? Why does he do that?”
Milo: “I don’t know. But he says he learned it from his Nana.”
Morris: “What’s the A-word???”
Me: “Well, sweetie, I have a secret to tell you…”
Morris: “WHAT’S THE A-WORD????”
Me: “Sometimes grownups like to say words that are considered naughty. It doesn’t make them bad people, though. It just means they have a lazy vocabulary.”
Morris: “A-WORD!!! A-WORD!!! A-WORD!!! I’M SAYING THE A-WORD!!!”
Morris: “Mommy, come here. I want to give you a big kiss. Hee hee hee hee hee.”
