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!
ReplyDeleteSad smiles from here. Six is too young for such wisdom.
ReplyDeleteI 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. :)
ReplyDeleteMade me smile!
ReplyDeleteLove that little kids are so honest and literal. Made me smile.
ReplyDeleteI have so many of these cute quips, but Art Linkletter beat me to the book. This is too cute.
