Do you ever worry?

Do you ever worry that your kid will be THAT kid?

Are you ever completely amazed by the things that come out of their mouths? I'm sure that the answer here is yes. Kids say the darnedest things, right?

But every now and then I am struck dumb when the older one speaks.

We watched Joe Dirt, yes Joe Dirt, last night and my first born, says, "Is meteor a girl or a boy?"

For those of you who haven't seen this fine family film, Joe Dirt, our protagonist, finds what he believes to be a meteor. He pulls it around in a wagon, talks to it, calls it his lucky meteor. We later learn that it is the discharge from an airplane toilet that froze on its way to earth. Like I said, fine family film.

But IS METEOR A GIRL OR A BOY?!!!!

Have a look. Maybe you'll see why I was concerned.





What do you think, folks? Boy or a girl? The meteor, not the Joe Dirt.

It is questions like this that make me think there is some chemical reaction occurring as he nears middle school that prevents logical thought. I have to have faith though that he'll be just fine. Most of us are, right?
