Conversations from the back seat of the van while I was driving.

1.

Wise One: I have no idea what this means. Do you know, Tater?

Tater: O-bli-cue. I have no idea either. I've never heard it before. What's that word doing in your math book.

Me: What is the word?

Tater: O-bli-cue.

Me: O-bli-cue. What does it have to do with? Spell it please.

Wise One: It's something about a line. o-b-l-i-q-u-e.

Me: (snicker) Oblique! (snort) It's a slanted line. (chuckle)



2.

Pooh Bear: Dad says he needs to lose weight.

Me: Does he now?

Pooh Bear: I think I'm too skinny, and I need to eat more. (she weighs 43 lbs. at 7 year old)

Me: Should I feed you more, Sweetie?

Pooh Bear: Yeah. Momma, you have just the perfect body. Just right to match your hair and pretty smile.

Me: I think I'll keep you, dear.
