Through a couple of Jordan's recent comments I have realized that I am becoming a true veteran of motherhood. Notice I said "becoming", I don't believe I, or anyone for that matter can know or catch everything their children think or do. For further reference read here, here, or here for just a sample. If that doesn't do it for you, scroll down to "labels" in the side bar and click on "Kid stories".
The other day, while driving on the freeway, we noticed a motorcyclist passing us. Jordan piped up from the back seat and asked us, "Is it against the law for dwarves to ride motorcycles?" Paul and I looked at each other, puzzled, and laughing. Then it hit me. We have been having "discussions" lately why he cannot have a minibike. I guess he figured if he was too little to have one then maybe a dwarf would be too little to ride a motorcycle.
A few minutes later, he asked "Could a thorn from a rose bush pop one of the tires on this car?" Paul said no. About 30 seconds later I realized we need some elaboration and clarification. I said "But, a nail or any other sharp object will pop a tire, so don't start poking things into the tires or you will really be in trouble!" Paul gave me an appreciative glance and said, "Good catch! I thought he was just asking from idle curiosity."
Around here, there is no such thing as idle curiosity!
