Simon
is talking about a possible play date with a girl his age. It resulted
in this conversation: "Wow, I better change my socks and brush my hair! I
don't want her to think that I'm Mr. Dirty or something."
You'd think he'd do those things anyway, but apparently not.
Simon: "I want to go to a flea market and find a really cool Lego set. Or some mac and cheese. "
Simon: "I like to suck the juice out of my orange and swirl it in my mouth. Do you like to do that? "
Me: "I just like to bite the orange and eat it that way. "
Simon: "Ah, the simple, domestic method. "
Simon just called me Miss Jodie. I looked at him and said, "Uh, Simon, you can call me Mom."
He gave me an embarrassed smile and said, "Oops. I just got used to everyone calling you that. "
Yesterday I told Simon I was hot and sweaty. He looked at me in amazement and said, "I didn't know girls sweat! "
Simon talked to my stomach (well, the baby inside) and Little Nugget woke up and started kicking. Jeff told Simon that he can get Oliver to wake up and that he must like the sound of his voice. Simon asked, "So, I'm like the Baby Whisperer?"
Last night Simon was chattering away to a worker at his archery club. He said, "I like Boba Fett because of his rogue personality." He used air quotes around the word "rogue". Funny boy.
Simon hit his head very hard, so I was checking in to make sure he was still doing okay.
Me: "How are you doing? Do you have a headache or a stomachache? "
Simon: "No. Why? "
Me: "Just checking on you. "
Simon, happily: "I love it when you fuss over me! "
I
told Simon to be careful because his food was hot. He arched a brow at
me (I'm so jealous that he can do that! ) and said, "Ooh, the stakes
are high. "
Simon: "I'll bet you a thousand. Then you say, "I'll see you and raise you a hot dog". Does that make sense? I don't know how to play poker."
This little monologue came out of nowhere.
Simon, looking at his toothbrush: "Huh. That's odd."
Me: "What? "
Simon: "All my toothbrushes are made in China, except this one. This one came from Bangladesh. "
