Seriously, Mom. Seriously.
Today, we were talking about the fact that the kids' birthdays are coming up next month. Ya know, that Pea is two-turning-three and that Punk is three-turning-four. Stuff like that.
Punk: "When I turn FIVE, I'm gonna get legs.*"
Me: "Honey, you already have legs."
Punk: "M-o-o-o-o-m! I mean HARD legs."
Dadders: "Well, what's gonna happen to the legs you have now, Punk?"
Punk, with every bit of seriousness: "They're gonna fall off."
Of course we began giggling.
Punk: "Seriously, Mom. Seriously!"
It was too funy!
*One of the neighbor kids, who happens to be five years old, was born without his lower legs and is really into his prosthetic legs these days.

Talk To Me
I blog for myself and my kids and I would do it even if no one else cared, but I do like to hear from you (and think it's a wee bit creepy of you to voyeurize us without my knowing it). So, please leave a comment from time to time, or email me anytime at xawilsons@hotmail.com. Much obliged, I'm sure.
