For the most part there isn't much that Liam says anymore that has me scratching my head or laughing to myself. However, here are two recent examples;
We were driving in the car and Liam yelled from the back, "Mom! I can read all of these signs!"
I replied, "Great! that's awesome that you can do that now."
"No! I don't want to read right now!"
"That's kind of what happens when you learn how to read buddy. Words start to jump out at you and everything makes sense."
The most recent conversation:
"Mom, why is Moana's lips so big."
(Moana is a Disney princess from Hawaii)
I definitly don't want to miss an opportunity to discuss diversity with my children or how God made us all different so I had to pause before I answered this question.
"Well, that's how God made her."
"Um, no Mom. God didn't make Moana, the Disney people did."
(Laughing to myself)
"Well, yes, you're right but the story that they came up with had Moana coming from Hawaii and that's how Hawaiian people look. And that's why she looks different from me and you."
