driving past Art Zuggs farm when Carlee was 4, she smelled the poop spread on the fields and asked Mommy what that smell was, Mommy replied that was cow poop. Carlee's response was Them Cows need there diapers changed.

A buddy of mine was dating a girl that was a few years younger than him and I would always give him a hard time about "robbing the cradle".

One night he was over at the house and I was joking around about it when my son, 8 yrs old at the time, chimes in "Yea Josh, you need to date older women, trust me I had a girlfriend who was 10 one time."

I've posted numerous stories over the years. With 4 kids, seems I have a good one every now and then.

The best latest was just the other day when I was bringing my 8 year old home from his uncle's. He had to go to church for his first communion retreat, so I was quizzing him on what first communion was. He answered all my questions correctly and then, as usual he started in on some heaven/he** stories.

So Matt says: "so, you're going to go to heaven before me, right?"

And I said "I sure hope so bud..."

And he said "yeah, in about 20 years, you'll be there..."

So, Apparently I only have 20 years left. :smoke:

Same kid, year earlier

Got finished planting some peas and beans yesterday when I heard some thunder off in the distance. My 7 year old was knocking a golf ball around the back yard and I told him he was going to have to put the club up soon, to which the following conversation ensued:

"you're going to have to put that club up soon son."

"why?"

Because there's lightning in the area.

So

So you're holding metal, and lightning is attracted to metal

I'm holding this *points to the grip*

That's attached to a metal club, do as I say.

If I get struck by lightning, will it hurt?

Yes, it will probably kill you.

If I got struck by lightning and I lived, would I forget everything?

Yes, probably so, but you'd probably get killed.

Geez, so if I got struck by lightning and lived, and I forgot everything, I'd probably have to go back to preschool, huh?

Yeah, probably, now go put your club away.

Same kid, 2 years earlier:

Had a clear night and wanted to look at the moon last night, and Jupiter too. With the help of c_lou I got a big telescope for the kids and I--it's pretty slick.

So last night I'm dragging it out, and I must say, it's a gangly apparatus to move around. It weighs around 60 lbs, and is essentially a 5' tube on a heavy base. Well, I got it around the piano, and out the door with no bumps, but as I was coming down off the deck steps I caught my left toe on the last step, and it started the tumbling. I crashed hard with this thing in my hand, scraped and bruised my left elbow, skinned my right knee, and sprained 2 fingers on my right hand. I also heard something snap on the telescope as I impaled myself on it.

As you can imagine, I let out a few choice words, more for what I did to the new scope than for what I did to myself. My 6 year old witnessed the tumble and he immediately ran back in the house. Everyone must know how I get when I hurt myself, because nobody came out to ask how I was.

Fast forward to this morning. My 6 year old says "you want to play badminton daddy?" and I said "no, daddy hurt his hand pretty bad last night when I fell." Matt says "oh yeah.................(pause)" Then he says "I know that word you said last night, but I've never said it, I know it, but I'm not allowed to say it, right daddy?"

Right son.
