Out Smarted by a Four Year Old....ALMOST!

So, my son is now 4. He is very smart. Today he has begun trying to used words to trick me. The main one went like this...

M: Did you want to go swimming today?

E: Yep. I can go swimming today?

M: yep.

E: I didn't poop in the pool?

M nope, you didn't so you can swim today.

E: Cool. I can poop in the pool today.

M: Yep, you can...wait...you can swim. You can't ever poop in the pool.

E: Gotcha mom. I was just jokin'...

Another one was...

M: Didn't we tell you no throwing things down the stairs?

E: Yes. I didn't throw it down.

M: How did it get down here then?

E: I rolled it.

M:Rolled it?

E: Yep, rolled it...it's not throwing!

M: OK No rolling things down the stairs, bring it down with your hands.

E: Can we talk about this? It's easier to roll it! (Big cheesy smile to try to win me over).

M: You should be a lawyer.

E: I am not a liar!...

What will it be like when he's a teenager?

Drug Problem

Drugged by my parents

"Why Are Some Eggs Brown and Some White?"

Recently Katie and I were grocery shopping. While I was checking the eggs Katie asked me "Why are some eggs white and some brown?". I had no real idea. I thought that it had something to do with the kind of chicken or color of chicken, but really I didn't know. I decided to go home and look it up, but forgot. This is one of the only reasons I would ever get an iPhone; so I can check that kind of information and never have to skip a beat!

Anyway, today Rick was asking me if I'd be interested in an iPad (and was trying to convince me that I want one) when i remembered this question. I decided to get my computer out and look up the question the old fashioned way! Here is the answer i came up with...

Chickens lay the color of eggs of their ear lobes! Yes, you read that right. Chickens have ear lobes! If they are a white ear lobed chicken they will have white eggs. And a brown lobed chicken has brown eggs! So, it does have to do with the kind of Chicken they are. Cool!

Here are my two sources.

Mirror Dream

So, last night I had a weird dream. I dreamed I was in a hall of mirrors. Every time I looked into a mirror I couldn't see myself. I was totally invisible. I went to one mirror and saw Rick, but not me. Then I went to another and saw Eli, but not me. Then I went to another one and saw Katie, but not me. Then I woke up. What's up with that? Any thoughts?
