out of the mouths of babes

This morning in the car, Isaac was quiet for the longest time. I had the radio playing some soft jazz, then I switched to another station to hear a news update, then back to the jazz. All of a sudden, out of the blue, Isaac announces, "Our car's red."

Um, well yes, yes it is. And?

Sometimes you really do have to wonder what's going on in their little heads. :)

Yesterday my mom watched Isaac, as she does every Thursday, and in the evening I went to pick him up and we decided somewhat on the spur of the moment to go have dinner at a restaurant (in order to, as jenwrites likes to put it, "rent some air-conditioning"). So we did, and then we went back to mom's place for ice cream, and then we packed up to go, and I went to pee (this point becomes relevant very soon) and then we got in the car and went home.

We were literally about two blocks away from home when I felt what seemed like a drip of water on my arm that was hanging out the car window. Is that rain? Why yes, yes it is. Just hold off another minute till we get home, okay? But the sky gods were not listening to my pleas last night, verily. Just as I pulled the car up to the curb across from our house, the rain went from gentle pitter-patter to torrential downpour. *facepalm* So I grabbed all our stuff (we always have lots of stuff when leaving mom's house) and dashed across the street to dump it on the porch, grabbed an umbrella, dashed back across the street to get Isaac out of the car, dashed back to the house. Whew!

And I was drenched, umbrella or no. D'oh. If only I hadn't stopped to pee, we would've been inside before it got bad. Ah well.

That's funny. Ben once told Jay that "My head is round. It is like an O"

Kids just make your whole day sometimes, huh?
