Conversations with Jacob...

"Ugh...I hate pepperoni!"

"Really? Hate? That's a very strong word. Too strong to use in reference to a food, don't you think?"

"Nope...I have a very strong mouth, Mommy. Strong enough to handle the word."

Not yet, my son. Not yet. As long as I'm still here to shield you from the world--may you never know the true meaning of hate.

Amen, even tho it is wishful thinking, sadly...but I know where you're coming from. Let's just hope it's a LONG way off for him yet!

I have to say, though, that's a hilarious response. He is STRONG LIKE BULL! :)

Oh, yeah...I was laughing before the whole "heaviness" of it got to me! He's a pretty smart kid!

You know, it's true that kids say the darnedest things! I'm glad you saw the teaching moment in his little conversation.

Too often I'm trying to hold back laughter at his word usage (right now he feels entitled to everything because he's "a boy")

Yet another great post.
