Tiny Talk Tuesday

Jacob: "Mom, I saw a commercial on TV, and the man said if you love your kids you will buy them an i*Phone, an X-box, and three sixties."

Last summer, Kloe and Jacob set up a little stand in our front yard to sell lemonade. And rocks. Not ON the rocks.....just AND rocks. You know, 'cause they so naturally go together. They called my cousin and asked him if he would like to come over and buy some lemonade from their stand. When my cousin arrived, Jacob - slick little salesman that he is - was pointing out the finer points of the rocks he had for sale, and my cousin was picking out the ones he wanted to buy.

Jacob asked him, "Do you want to buy some rocks? Or do you just want to give me your money?"

Last fall Jacob played football for the first time. When we signed up for football, they were doing physicals at the same time as the sign-ups. This year, he has decided that he wants to play soccer instead (he's played before). So last week when we went to sign up for soccer, I just handed the lady our form and a check, and then we left. As we were leaving, Jacob asked, "That's it? They're not even going to hammer my knees or anything?" :)
