What kids think they know

Last night around the fire Craig and I were talking to Jeb about what to do if he got lost, actually Craig was telling Jeb what to do if he got lost in the wilderness and how to follow the norht star. What I wanted to know is what Jeb was doing in the middle of the wilderness by himself being five and all, but I was just looked at like and idiot to have asked such a silly question. Anyway, the conversation shortly moved to town, Walmart in fact. Craig was asking Jeb what he could say to someone if he was lost from his mom or dad. The conversation between the "policeman" and Jeb went like this.
"I'm lost, could you help me find my mom/dad"
"What is your mom's name?"
"Valerie Broyles"
"What is you dad's name?
"Uncle Craig"
"No Jeb, what is your dad's name, it's not uncle craig?"
"Umm, I don't know"
"My name is just plain Craig"
"What is your phone number?
"I know that it's easy (like why are you asking me such an easy question)."
"Well?"
"2"
"No, that only works on our phones"
"What, that's dumb."
"Where does your dad work"
"Where he takes his gun and laser."
"No, but where does he work"
"He fights and hunts bad guys"
"Who does he work for? BBBOORDDD"
"Border Patrol"
"Where's do you live?"
"From the park, you go this way and that way and this way (while waving his arm from side to side)"
"What street?"
"All I know is Kachina"

As you can see we have not done a very good job preparing our son for kindergarten or walmart shopping for that matter. I'm sure glad we asked.


Now a funny little story about Chloe. She wanted to go swim with Jeb and his friend, so she brought me her swimming suit and I was playing with her so I just put the staps on her shoulders so her suit was just hanging down her back. She said thank you and started to walk away when she realized it wasn't quite right and she says "oh, man!" and comes back. So I took her suit and put her arms through the straps again only this time on the front. Again she started walking away and again turned back and said, "oh, shoot" and patted her head to show me I needed to put it on the right way, so I turned it upside down and put it on like a hat. This time she looked very seriously at me and said "mom, top it(stop it) and proceeded to tell me in chinese that it needed to cover these pointing parts of her body. It was quite the discussion. What a cutie.
