JT: Why do some men have hair on their face?
Mama: Well, when your body starts to become a grown-up body, things change and....
JT (impatiently interrupting): I don't want that to ever happen to me.
Mama: When it happens, it will be okay.
JT: It's not going to happen at all. I am going to invent a machine and be your little boy forever.
Mama: I'd like that very much son.
Oh, how great would that be? What a smile that brought to me on this already crazy morning.
ReplyDeleteI love how they are simultaneously desirous of staying small and all eager to demonstrate how grown up they've become.
ReplyDeleteThis morning, when explaining to D that I couldn't play Hot Wheels with him anymore because I had to pack for our little mini-trip to MD, he said, "But then I want to pack! I love packing! Packing is as good as playing to me!" And he was serious. Gets it from his Tama, I think. Packed all his own stuff and could NOT have been happier.
