I'm still pounding away at the keyboard, working on what Anne LaMott calls the "shi##y first draft." But I stopped long enough to share an amusing conversation I had with an adorable, pudgy little round-faced first grader today...
Me: Hey Andrew, how was your weekend?
Andrew: Good.
Me: What'd you do?
Andrew: I don't member.
Me: I went out to dinner with my husband for my favorite food; spaghetti and meatballs. It was delicious.
Andrew: My mom don't got that. She keeps lookin' everywhere, but she can't find one.
Me (a bit perplexed): She can't find meatballs?
Andrew: Nope. Husbands. She keeps lookin' but they're hard to find.
Me: That's true Andrew. Guess you'll just have to be the man of the house.
Andrew: I'm not a man. I'm only six!
Silly me!

awwww, kinda sad, kinda funny! Can't find my meatballs!
Sad smiles from here. Six is too young for such wisdom.
I never thought about this as sad... I should've told you that this boy is a lovely, well adjusted little fellow with a very sweet and caring mommy. I'm sure she's being very selective in her husband hunting. :)
Made me smile!
Love that little kids are so honest and literal. Made me smile.
I have so many of these cute quips, but Art Linkletter beat me to the book. This is too cute.
