Accidentally, With Purpose

January 29, 2013

There is a certain appreciation for those sweet life lessons learned by accident.

ME “How do you know Power Rangers eat fruit loops?”

Davi ” EVERYONE knows THAT!”

…While I’m cooking broccoli…

Davi “Mommy, do turtles fart?”

ME “I don’t know.”

Davi *sighs* “You don’t know anything.”

Ouch.

Davi “I know, that’s why I picked you.”

Finn “No no… you were in mommy’s belly when I was a baby. You didn’t know you was being borned.”

Davi “Don’t be silly…” *laughing hysterically* *then straight faced* “I’m a samurai.”

Finn *face palm* “Oh brother.”

Bahahaaa… It’s not easy being the mama of ninjas… but it certainly can be entertaining.
