Conversation Over Breakfast

The following conversation took place between 7:45 and 7:47 a.m.:

Little J to Big J: "Try to pick up the house."

Big J (grunting and actually trying): "A house is too heavy."

Little J: "But when you're a grown up and Superman you can pick up a house."

Big J: "Yeah. But it still might take me a second."

(Slight pause).

Little J: "Why is your shirt like that? You look like a girl." (Big J's pajama top had fallen down some on his shoulder).

Big J: "I don't know. It just fell down like girls' shirts do."

Little J: "No. They make it look that way on purpose." (Such wisdom!)

Little J runs into the bathroom and rinses his hands and on the way out says:

Little J: "Mama, why does each kid have a fatter head?"

Me (with confused expression): "What?"

Little J: "Hey, Big J, remember that guy on Star Wars that has the really skinny head?"

Big J: "Oh yeah! And that one guy that...."

At this point they were slowly losing me so I tuned out. Contrary to what may be indicated, these children were completely of a sound mind when this conversation took place.
