I promised more of the funny conversations that Zach and I have and, well, I've slacked. Yesterday I remembered to write down a couple, so I thought I'd share. I'm always so entertained to hear what he has to say.
(Driving to my parents' house):
Z: Mom, pirates live on pirate boats.
E: Yup. Do you see a pirate boat?
Z: Nope. I'd better go get one. Just in case we be pirates! ARGH!
(Driving home)
Z: I want to be a doctor!!
E: Really? Like Uncle Gary and Grandad Cal?
Z: Yeah.
E: Why do you want to be a doctor?
Z: So I can help you and baby. I want to help you.
Often in the car he gets going and just keeps talking. It's just a running commentary of what he sees and what might be running through his head. It's usually something like this:
Z: Green means go. GREEN! Red means stop. I see a dog. That man walking with dog. Park. I wanna go to the park. Momma? There's a man! He walking too. It's sunny. Sun is bright. Clouds are high. I see birds. The birds are flying. They're high. Cows! Moo! There's a barn! Momma, I see a barn!! LOOK! I need to get up in the sky like Super Why. I use my feet to get in the sky. I have shoes on. Super high. Super Why build a tower of power with me to get super high in the sky. Super Why play legos with me. I ask him. We see Dada? Dad's at work. Papa's at work too. They have to work............
And I thought my mind wandered.... Silly boy.

Um. Em.
These are the same things you and I were saying when we were seniors in high school.
Just saying.
:)
(btw I will be quoting much of this blog post for a long time. Such genius!)
Ahh, if you were in just the right mood, you were still saying some of these kind of things in college too :)
Zach is hilarious!
Planning for contingencies shows a great deal of forethought, even though the contingencies in question, actually being a pirate, seems unlikely.
I simply cannot wait to have my own conversations with this little boy!
