The second annihilation – and walls have ears
From a few nights ago……..
We continue on our wayward path.
“We will all be killed?”
“Er……no I don't think so.”
“We be extincted like dah dinosaurs?”
“Hmm .. I think we’re alright for a wee while yet.”
“It dah global warming?”
“I er, what do you know about global warming?”
“Der are meteors tonight?”
“Um…..no I don't think so.”
“We are all to be killed in dah meteor attack?”
“What's all this about meteors?”
“Dey happen random.”
“Yes, I know that dear, but why all the business of meteors tonight?”
“I be heared it.”
“What did you hear?”
“Radio.” [translation = "ooopsie"]
Moral – it’s called a broadcast for a reason. Never assume that a child is tuned out if peel the potatoes, and you tune in to the news.
At least his
communication
skills are more
effective than
those of his “parents.”

Not only do kids *say* the darnedest things, apparently they pay attention to the darnedest things as well….
Thanks for stopping by over at my place; I look forward to looking around here a bit as well

Never assume no one is listening . . .

They hear everything, don’t they? Especially what we don’t need for them to hear.
Did they stay up and watch the meteor shower, or would that be upsetting? It’s pretty cool.
Did you take the great picture?

We are very careful these days about things that are even whispered. Especially since he has picked up “Oh sheet”

Just when I think there is NO way my son has heard what we said he asks us about it! At least we can still spell things in front of our daughter.

Hey Missy Maddy. I need you to check out my latest post. There’s a little something for you there. It is the one titled Matters.

I gave up peeling potatoes to dr. phil when I was asked why the lady was screaming at her husband. Background noise is not background noise to everyone! Great site!

we had the same a while ago when there was something on the news about a meteorite that would possibly hit the earth in 11 years. it had my son utterly terrified. we couldn’t get him to sleep for fear. i have given up listening to the news myself now so there is less of that!

You have to be a little proud that he made the connection
