Where Did I Find the Humour in Life Before I Had Kids?

My son and I were driving through a residential area one day about a week ago and all of a sudden I hear,

"Mom, I just saw a yacht!"

Me: "You did?!?"

"Yep......well, it was either a yacht or a gazebo."

Me: "......"

"Mom, what's a yacht?"

Me: "It's a big fancy boat."

"Oh, then it was a gazebo"

Me: "......"

"Mom, what's a gazebo?"

Me: "It's a place you can sit and there's a roof above it."

"Definitely a gazebo then."

Conversations like this seem to be the norm in our house.  Most of the time I manage to keep a very straight and serious face and then later, my husband and I have a laugh over it.  Feel free to share your stories of things kids have said that have made you laugh!!

Sometimes I Wonder About My Mothering Skills

So my 4 year old daughter and I were driving home from the grocery store and she starts this conversation.

"Mom, is tomorrow the weekend?"
"Yes"
"What about the day after tomorrow?"
"No."
"School?"
"Yep."
"Damn."
"Pardon?"
"Damn."
"That's not a word we use."
"Okay....that's stupid."
"Can we go with silly?"
"I guess"

Really??  I guess it's not as bad as the time she came home from junior kindergarten saying the F-word...... 
Well, I'll keep trying :)
