Saturday Conversations w/ My Nine Year Old...

[xwacky]

@ On the way to his Piano lesson:

My Son: "Mom, you know, I made my character on Guitar Hero look like Dean."
Me (driving): "Erm... how?"
My Son: "Well, he's wearing blue jeans, and a jacket. And he has short hair.  I just need to know what his eye color is."
Me: "Green."
My Son: "Oh, I need to make a change then."
Me: "Okay..."
My Son: "Wanna me to show you? I'll play Eye of the Tiger for you."
Me (still driving): "Fine, but clean your room first."
My Son: "Awww, mom! At least let me show you my character."
Me: "Clean your room first!"

@ Picking up the dry cleans:

Attendant: "Hey, A***!  Long time no see.  How have you been?"
My Son: "Fine, just the normal life."
Attendant burst out laughing...
Me (was concentrating on checking the clothes): "What?  What did he say?"

@ Having lunch, and telling hubby about our friends' kids' puppy love:

Me: "...and so, Elijah is really sad they are moving away, and he won't be able to go to the same school with Ari anymore."
Hubby: "Well, I'm sure he'll find plenty of other girls in Los Angeles..."
My Son (jumping in suddenly): "You can't find love, you know.  Love will find you.  Unexpectedly."

O.o

I realized long ago that my kids have taken my fandoms to heart (and rejected my husband's sports fandoms). My dad had the same effect on me. I remember watching Star Trek, Planet of the Apes, and many other shows with him that the rest of the family was not interested in.

"You can't find love, you know. Love will find you. Unexpectedly. Kids say unexpected (and sometimes very wise) things don't they?

Yours too? Hehe, yay for kids close to their mommies! My son rejects my hubby's sports fandoms too, until recently he started to watch a little bit of baseball with his daddy, all because he himself started to play the game and loved it.

My son watched some of the Battlestar Galactica with me too (the scenes where I deemed okay for kids). One time, in his Dad's office (my hubby teaches Computer Science), he blurted (out of blue): "To live a better life, they need to give up technology." I was like: "What?!" He went on: "You know, technologies are evil, like in Battlestar Galactica!" O.O

Yeah, kids say most unexpected things sometimes. Makes me scared of what kind of materials I put forth in front of him. They are like sponges, they absorb everything around them, even the ones we don't think they'd notice.

I still suspect that line about love he heard it from some of rock song maybe. I just can't think of any...
