Two for Tuesday Wednesday: Conversations with L

Scene: Upon waking up with a cough yesterday morning; on the car ride to school.

L: Mommy, I'm pretty sick. My cough, it's pretty bad.

Me: L, I think you're going to be okay. (Empathetic parenting is not my forte. So sue me.)

L: No, I don't feel good. I'm sick 'cuz I got a cough.

Me: You don't have a fever. If you don't feel well at school, tell your teacher and she can call me.

L: (brightening) Oh! Okay! I am very sick, you know.

Me: Now you need to know, though, that if you come home, you'll have to lie on the couch and watch tv.

L: (brightening more) Okaaay!

Me: And you won't get to play the Wii because you'll be too sick.

***dramatic pause***

L: I fink I'll be okay.

Scene: Car ride on the way to school

L: Mommy. Hey Mommy. Did you know I have two heads?

Me: (stifles inappropriate giggles) Oh, really?

L: Yeah. (points to forehead) I got my forehead, and .... (pats the top of his head) I got a fivehead.

Namaste', L. Namaste'.

Stopping by from All It Takes Is Faith & Trust. Super cute story! Kids are so cute, I can't wait for my own someday!

So freaking adorbale.

And yeah, I fail at empathetic parenting when Punky is "sick." She gets no TV - at least until we're truley convinced of the illness.

I have to stifle giggles at some of the things The Nephew says, too. He'll understand why they're funny when he's older.

But I love that you were able to magically cure L's ailment!
