A while back, while I was driving with the boys in the back seat, I noticed a single shoe lying by the side of the road. I remarked on it, and wondered aloud how it got there. I hypothesized that maybe someone in a car took off their shoe to swat a bug and then accidentally dropped it out the window. Jimmy thought for a moment, then announced, “When I grow up I’m going to be a shoe thrower. I’m going to drive, drive, drive to somebody’s house. If they not want their shoes, I’m going to drive, drive, drive and throw them out the window.”

Jimmy: “When I grow up, I’m going to be a bobcat walker.”
(I guess that’s better than a shoe thrower?)

Jimmy, to me, while I paused during our walk outside: “What are you doing?”
Me: “I’m trying to figure out what animal is making that noise in the bush there.”
Jimmy: “Maybe a giraffe?”
******
Jimmy: “If I see a spider, I will say, ‘Hi!’ If I see a beetle, I will say ‘Hi!’ If I see a stink bug, I won’t say ‘Hi’ ‘cause stink bugs pee and poop.”
******
Jimmy: “Mommy, come quick! There’s something with 8 legs!”
Me: “Oh! Is it a spider?”
Jimmy: “No. It has a bum.”
(It was a spider).
last one almost had me spewing my coffee while I laughed! 😉
You do so well at recording these conversations/lines and moments… love it!
