We are riding in the car and for a rare moment all the kids are quietly sitting, just peacefully riding along. Well, this can't be, Hayden must not have silence.
Hayden: Mom?
Me: *sigh* Yes, Hayden.
Hayden: A house full of mouse traps would not be a good thing. They would be actually kind of dangerous.
Me: Yes, I know. Mouse traps are not fun things (I have no idea where the mouse trap idea came from. Charlie is a pretty good mouser if we ever were to have a mouse issue.)
Hayden: Yeah, if there were a lot of mouse traps on the floor then one would get on my lip and it would hurt.
Me: Well, yeah that would hurt.
Hayden: It would crack my lip off.
Me: Well, that is not good. How about we just take the mouse trap off.
Hayden: No we can't take it off.
Me: What? Why?
Hayden: Well, silly, my lip cracked off and the mouse trap is on my cracked off lip. I will just have a cracked off lip and everything will be good and it will not hurt anyone any more.
Me: Really!?!
Hayden: Yeah *chuckle chuckle* that will be silly. Mom, when we get to the mall, can I get a new toy? It has been at least 20 minutes since I got a new toy...
Oh I totally and utterly give up!

Ha! Well... twenty minutes is a long time, after all.
My 4 year old has started saying "But Mom! I haven't done that/had that/been given that/been there in YEARS and YEARS!" It's too funny.
Toooooooo funny!! I love what your kids come up with:-)
that like 2 months in kid time!!
I like the way he got from his lip in a mouse trap to getting a new toy. maybe he was trying to get you to feel sorry for him being injured and thought it would be a great time to ask for something? I'm now trying to figure the logic of a little boy. I could lose my mind pretty quickly that way,
funny - and I thought I was the only sucker that bought toys! (smiles)
hayden and brooke sitting in a tree...
Lol! Where the heck did that come from? What a cute conversation.
Can I borrow him? Just for like a day...I have way too much girl energy in my house right now. I need a little boy around to crack me up like that.
I mean, gosh Mom.... You let him go 2 minutes without a new toy! You are awful.
Kids say the darndest things. I relish the silly conversations that can and do happen in the car.
Those kid-isms are perfect! I love how you just never know what's next on the tongue!
Sometimes I wonder how and why they think of this stuff!! It just comes out of nowhere!
Yeah, I know that when I have my lips on the floor, I'm always careful to avoid the mousetraps.
LOL!!!!!!! i love that boy
whew! that's good to know about mousetraps! (and toys)
Don't tell Hayden, but my friend and I used to have wars with her siblings by hiding behind the couch (sofa?) and throwing set mouse traps at them. Trench warfare. It was great.
Oh, you'd better not tell my friend's Mum or Dad, either.
As a farm wife and professional setter of mouse traps..IT WOULD TAKE YOUR LIP OFF HAYDEN! How you would actually get your lip in the trap would take some tricky placement though :)
That sounds like a conversation that I would have with the Wild Child. Seriously, where do they get these things?
Don't you love the way kids' think?
I bet he saw a commercial for that Devereaux movie. But I'm totally creeped out by a cracked off lip now....thanks, Hayden!
