5月23日 conversations w/a 7yr old - II"Hey mom, are we doing anything this weekend?"
He yells as he jumps off the bus.
My thoughts go to which friend he wants to visit or have over for a visit as it's his turn this weekend.
"Um, not that I can think of, why?"
"Can we go to the desert?"
"The desert?"
"Yeah, lots of animals are being killed and we need to make some signs."
"Oh, ok. Which desert would we be going to?"
"Ummmm, ummmm .. I don't know. Ummmmm. I can't remember the name."
"Oh, ok. Well, which animals are getting killed?"
"Oh! oh... ummmmmm, well, I think I forget their name too."
"Oh, well that's ok too. What should we write on the signs?"
"We can write - Please slow down for ... um .. the animals I forget the name of."
"Wow.. sounds like quite a lot to write on one sign.."
"Mooommmm, we wouldn't write all that! We will put in the name of the animal. I'll ask my teacher tomorrow, ok?"
"Sure hon, do you think we'll be back in time for dinner?"
"Oh sure. We can do the signs on Saturday and go to the desert early on Sunday."
"Alrighty then it's a date!"
"Thanks, Mom! You're the best. Can we play basketball now?"
"Sure, think we should put up some signs to remind us to play slow so we don't scare the rabbits?"
"Mooooommmmmmm"
Mind you, there is no desert even close to where we live along the East Coast .. but hey, life with kids is always an adventure, right?! I wonder if he'll be happy if we go to the beach and put up signs there ??? It's sandy like the desert .... I can hear it now .. "Mooommmmm!" 5月21日 conversation with a 7 yr old"oh look! I see a dragon!" the 7 year old yells out excitedly, pointing to the cloud just to the left of the branches. "Can you see it?"
He was laying on his back on the trampoline in the back yard. His mom right next to him enjoying the brief interlude of sunshine. A nice gentle breeze was blowing with just enough speed to move the clouds into wonderful creations ..
"sure can darling. Looks like its hungry, what do you think?"
"nah ... it's just yawning"
*pause*
"or maybe it burped"
*laughter*
"you are such a boy!"
"yeah, well your a .. a ... um .. mom?"
"and is that a bad thing? a mom?"
*laughing*
"no.. I didn't mean you're a mom.. well.. I mean you are but that wasn't what I was trying to say, even though you are but, um ..."
*now it's my turn to laugh*
"Um?!"
"well I was going to say you're such a girl but then you aren't really because you don't act like a girl .. I mean girls wear dresses and high heals and lots of make up and they don't like to get dirty and the don't like to jump on the trampoline and they get all smoochy and stuff"
*now I'm trying hard not to laugh*
"oh? I do wear dresses some times .. and some make up"
"well, yeah but it looks nice you can't see it always like some of the real girls wear it.. and you climb trees and play tag with us when it's dark out .. real girls don't like doing that"
"Oh, well then I guess you're right. I'm not a girl. I guess I'm still a Tomboy."
"oh, yeah. thats right. I forgot you were that when you were little like me, right?."
"yep."
*silence followed for a few moments while we lay there watching the clouds float over our heads*
"mom, can I ask you a question?"
"always, whats on your mind"
"Can I get my nose pierced?"
"um.... NO!"
"Oh, ok"
*silence*
"Can I get my belly pierced?"
"No.. besides I think only girls get their bellys pierced." *laughing* "oh, guess you won't be doing that then huh?"
"You got that right. What about your tongue?"
"eww, no way, that would hurt too much"
"oh, good because that would have been a NO too!"
*silence*
"Can I get my ear pierced?"
"hmm, maybe when you're older. Ask me again in a few years, 'k?"
"k"
*silence*
"mom?"
"yes"
"I really didn't want to get my nose or my belly pierced"
"Oh?"
"nah, I just figured if I asked you them first it might not sound so bad when I asked about getting my ear pierced"
"How old are you again? 7 or 17?"
*laughter*
"hey look - there goes a huge lion"
"cool, honey"
"And over there is the head of a T-rex! Don't you see anything?"
"Well, I think I see a cute bunny"
"Oh mom, now your just being a girl.."
