Nolan: Mommy when can I get my ears peered?
Because his sister used the same word up until a few weeks ago, I knew he meant pierced.
Me: Oh I don't know. Maybe when you are thirty.
Scattered conversation about why at the age thirty he could get his ears pierced.
Me: Daddy doesn't have his ears pierced.
Nolan: When will he be old enough?
Me: Oh I don't know maybe when he is fifty. You'll be old enough too when you are fifty.
Nolan: Fifty?! I'd be dead then!
I remember thinking 30 was old and 50 was ancient! Now thirty is young and 50 is just well-seasoned!
ReplyDeleteBetter get my wheelchair ready, then. I'm WAY further over the hill than I thought! :o)
ReplyDeleteKids are just too funny! Thanks for the laugh.
ReplyDeleteJust explain to him exactly how ears are "peered." He'll drop the subject quick. ;)
ReplyDeleteI have said it dozens of times, Oh Nolan, what will pop into that darling head of yours next? G and G
ReplyDeleteHe may be right - I'm SO much closer to 50 than 30 but it still looks kind of scary.
ReplyDeleteWe have no hope with the ear-piercing thing. I have 3 holes in each ear and the Mountain Man has his left ear pierced.
Priceless!
