conversations!
Today I had 6 kids in the back of the car. Weston, Isaac and Tyler were in the back back so it was a little hard to hear but I did get some. And though Isaac was talking I wasn't paying much attention to him because he seemed to be quit the kill-joy for the two boys with their discussion but this is what I got!
Weston: Pirate.. when I grow up
Isaac: you can't do that - you can't be two things
Mom: Weston? What did you want to be?
Weston: An Astronaut and a pirate
Mom: Wow - that sounds like fun
Tyler: I want to be an alien... an alien and a robot, with wheels so I can punch.(and hit)
Isaac: you can't be an alien - )
Weston: ya - you can't be an alien because they have green skin
Isaac, Daniel, Weston: You can't be an alien
Isaac: you can't be an alien you have to choose a job (Isaac is 6 and in 1st grade- obviously knows everything about life !)
Mom: You don't have to choose a job until you're a daddy (obviously you have to choose earlier - but why burden the creativity of children with technicalities)
Tyler : I'm going to be an alien
Weston: But you can't they have green skin
Isaac: an no hair
Weston: and three eyes and four legs
Tyler - I'll be an astronaut alien
Isaac: what are you going to do wear a space suit?
then we were home and that fizzled out but there was a short discussion about how Tyler would turn his skin green. I think they decided he could paint his skin.
I had to blog it though. I thought it was very amusing!
