Things that make you go 'hmmm'...

Jacob: "Milk comes from cows and eggs come from chickens."

Me: "That's right."

Not wanting to be outdone, Alex pipes up with: "And bacon comes from pancakes!"

You can understand the logic since we serve them together. And it's better than Jacob's previous belief that milk came from a cow's penis.

The boys have these cheap plastic beaded necklaces they play with. Jeff likes to joke that they were given to me on Mardi Gras, but that is not where they came from. I think they were birthday party favors. Anyway, the boys wear them on occasion as accessories to creative superhero costumes, but more often, they enjoy tangling the 3 necklaces together and whipping them around like a lasso. That's what boys do with necklaces.

The other day, Alex put the lovely orange beads around my neck. Then Jacob looked at me and said proudly,
"Mom, you look like a woman when you wear those!"

I'm still trying to decide if I want to know what I look like when I'm not wearing plastic beads.
