Kids.....you gotta love 'em, right? They are so sweet. They are so entertaining! what they hear, see, observe is through a different mindset than us adults. Truly, kids do say they darndest things sometimes that its just makes you sit back and enjoy their spin on the life that surrounds them.
What am I getting at? Ethan.
Ethan and I had an interesting/entertaining conversation last Saturday. I had taken the boys to a ward Easter party and there was a zipline to ride. I tried to get Ethan to give it a try, but he didnt want to. (He's not the most outgoing child. He tends to stay within his comfort zone, not that there's anything wrong with that....) I pushed a little more to get him to go, but the answer was inevitably 'no'. I decided to leave it alone, but I asked in a playful manner, "where did you get you lack of adventure, dude, cuz it certainly isn't from me?!" To which Ethan replied, "from dad! He is the biggest scaredy cat. He's afraid of everything!" I tilt my head to the side and look in puzzlement. I am trying to figure out why Ethan could possibly think his dad would be a scaredy cat. it simply isn't so. I smile at Ethan, give a little chuckle and inquire further..."Ethan, please explain". Ethan smiles back with the cutest grin and giggles himself, replying, "mom, dad is totally scared of everything! He, like, is even scared of my hair, duh! He's a scaredy cat!" Again, imagine my face in complete awe of his last few statements and my grin getting bigger. Ethan continues, "don't you remember? at my baptism? Dad was cryng like crazy because he had to put his hands on my head! He was scared to touch my spiky hair. he wouldn't stop crying!" My chuckle just burst out into a full on belly laugh! hahahahahahahahahahah......can you believe it!?! This whole time he thought his dad was crying because he was afraid to touch his hair! *joyful sigh* Aren't kids the best?!
