I dont have kids, personally the thought of actually having one scares me but maybe someday... but I have an adoreable nephew to brag on...
Hes pretty advanced for a 5 year old. He LOVES the cell phone, he can use it better than my sister I think. So last Wednesday he calls me and he tells me that "I'm with mama in Wal-Mart and she said that we needed to call you so I did" I told him what a good boy he was and it was nice to talk to him(he doesn't talk a lot, he will call 10 different people and only talk about 3 min to each of them). He then told me that they were buying some flip flops for his brother Jordan(the hellchild) and some shorts for him to play in. I hear a kid screaming in the background and its interrupted by "If I was like that Mama would stop the cart, take me out and we would go to the car. I wouldnt get anything, hes a bad boy. Mama hes being a bad boy right?" I damn near lost it laughing because while my nephew is well behaved... he likes to push the envelope... but I didnt know he was THAT smart.
My nephew constantly amazes me with the things he observes. Like when I took him to the grocery store while I visited them over the summer he said "Aunt Megan, I have to pee" my reply was "ok kid, do you know where the bathroom is in this place" since I was not from there.. he said "I forget, let me think".."ok kid you think, but hurry, I dont want you to go in your pants"... "I dont pee my pants anymore, Im a big boy".. "ok kid... lets find the potty." Suddenly he sees one of the store employees and he RUNS up toher holding his crotch and goes "Hey nice lady can you please tell me where the potty is, I gotta go" We both laughed and she pointed in the general direction and by this point we could see the sign... at least he was polite..
