kids really do say the darnest things...

School is really kicking me in the behind this semester but I'm sure I will triumph. Too bad I've missed on writing about all the funny comments from lil man...but this one...couldn't let this one go.
Yesterday evening, our trip to Targee turned out to be more than we had bargained for. I had a couple very specific things that I needed to purchase, BUT as it almost always turns out, my hands were full by the time I got to the counter. Get this, I specifically did not get a cart or a basket for this very reason but as we were getting out of the store both lil man's hands and I were sore from lugging all the items we had picked. So my lil helper and I paid, got them in bags and as we were walking from the store, he comments "My arms are so tired, I feel like they are going to fall off!"
"Me too honey, " I replied "but just hang in there the car is not far."

As we walk out the door trying to hurry to the car, lil man asks in a matter-of-fact voice "If my arms fall off, I'm I going to grow some new ones?"
First I did what I always do, laugh out loudly (inwardly of course), looked at him and just smiled because I could see he was serious. I know they have been learning about reptiles and he has a fascination with lizards and what nots..you get my drift.

"No honey, only lizards and other such reptiles grow parts when they loose them."
"Oh yeah, I knew that," came the reply.

I've caught myself laughing so hard the couple times I have thought about this. Kids...my lil man.
