I promise, he HASN'T been watching Pinky and the Brain!

Brian and I were in the car today, and he asks me if wishes ever can come true. I told him, "Of course, sometimes, you have to work to make them happen, but they can totally come true."

He paused for a bit and then said "What does that mean?"

Thinking that I was going to be able to come up with a good example, I started to talk about getting a job you wanted, but then realized he could hardly relate to that. Ditto with getting a lot of money, getting a relationship, etc. So he interrupts my bumbling thoughts to provide me with an example:

"Like, what if I wish to take over the world?" He said, seriously.

I think I need to a> teach him Risk, and b> keep an eye out on his phone use. And add to that list, be really grateful that I'm his mom. If anyone is going to aim for world domination, I suppose I'd prefer that it's my son!

April Fools Day...

So Brian heard about April Fools day from one of his day care teachers. The funniest part of it is, he doesn't quite get the idea of pranks yet. So I think his teacher probably told him that April Fools Day is when you play jokes on each other.

He took this to mean that today is the day to tell jokes to each other. This morning on the way to daycare, I was regaled with some of the most inane and pointless knock knock jokes I've ever heard.

(To wit:
B: Knock knock.
Me: Who's there?
B: Swinging camera.
Me: Swinging camera who?
B: Swinging camera taking your picture but you're not smiling - I'll be back Monday)

His response, however, whenever I noted that I just didn't get it, was priceless:

"Mom, it's a JOKE! It's not supposed to make sense. Cuz it's April Fools Day. It's all about jokes."

Can't argue with that logic, can I???
