Overheard at Our House

Connor: "When I'm five, I'm going to be a mommy."

Daddy: "Did you say 'mommy' or 'mummy'?"

Connor: "Mooooommmmy."

Daddy: "How is that going to happen?"

Connor: "When I am five, I'm going to change into a mommy."

Daddy: "No, it doesn't work - "

Connor: "Hey, do you want to play 'hammers'?"

Daddy: "How do you play 'hammers'?"

Connor: "You go buy pads and put them on and then you hit each other with hammers."

Daddy: "That's not a real game. You never hit people with hammers."

Connor: "Yes you do. You can put on pads."

Daddy: "No, Connor, we don't hit people with hammers. Ever."

Connor: "If they are wearing pads, then it's okay."

Daddy: "Connor, if you hit someone with a hammer you could kill them. You could hurt them really bad and we would have to take them to the hospital."

Connor: "The hammer hospital?"

Daddy: "No, the regular hospital."

Connor: "Oh, we take hammers to the hammer hospital when they are broken and they get fixed."



I was trying to nurse Lex while they were having this conversation, and I ended up laughing so hard that I cried, and Lex stopped eating to laugh along with me!
