Off Topic: Conversations With Ian

These are too funny to me, not to document somewhere.  See, my 6-year old, Ian, says some pretty funny things.  We're starting to have real converstations with him, which is something new. By real conversations, I mean two-sided interactions where my wife and I can actually gain some peice of information from the interaction.  What I learned yesterday is that you can't always trust his account.  Take this conversation he had with my wife:

Her: So you went to the grocery store with Brendan?

Ian: Yes.  And guess who we saw?

Her: Who?

Ian: Bob!

(now keep in mind that Bob's not married)

Her: Cool, what did he have to say.

Ian: Um.  I think his daughter's pregnant.

(now, I was there, and I have no idea where this came from)

Her: Really?  I didn't know he had a daughter, or a wife for that matter.

Ian: Yes, his daughter's pregnant.  Mom, I have a question:

Her: Okay, shoot.

Ian: You know that new pregnant Barbie doll?

Her: Yes.

Ian: What kind of baby is she going to have?

Her: Well, I don't know, we'll have to wait and see, won't we?

Ian: Hmmm.  Maybe she'll have Spongebob.

Man, that's fantastic. As a dad to a 6 year old myself, I can relate. Maybe we should create a blog site just for stuff like this :-)
