Sometimes I think it's easier if I attach a mic and record everything Z says. But for now, I'll keep blogging from memory. Here are some gems that came out of his mouth this week:
1. He asked for a cup of water. I gave it to him. He laid the cup down on it's side and all the water spilled out onto the table. He said "The water is sleeping".
3. Talking about jobs
Z: I'm a fire fighter!
M: What about me? What do I do?
Z: Mommy is a mechanic fixing cars at an autoshop
M: hmm. Okay. What about S, what does she do?
Z: *A brief pause* She takes away stuff.
3. While out one day, he decided it was a good idea to walk away from me while I was preoccupied with S. After a panic attack which had me hollering his name in front of a lot of bystanders, and a few minutes which felt like hours, he was returned to me by a security guard. But let Z explain:
*Almost a week after the event and completely out of the blue*
Z: "A police officer arrested me"
M: What?! When?
Z: At the CN tower
M: What did he say to you?
Z: Where's your mom and dad?
M: What did you answer?
Z: In France.
I then had to explain to him the difference between police officers and security guards and what arresting someone actually looks like. Otherwise, he'll be boasting to his friends at school that he got arrested. Since kids believe anything, he'll have no friends because all the parents will say in unison "Stay away from that boy!"
4. In the tune of children's song, he sang " Don Cherry's got a baby in his belly"
5. While drinking some milk, he looks at it and says "Can I hold my breath and go under the milk?"
6. He was running around making car noises and turning his invisible steering wheel. So when I asked him what he's doing, he said. "I'm driving all the way to France"
7. He noticed a warning label on a skateboard that he was playing with. I asked him what the warning label said and he replied, "Don't fall"
8. He asked me if I wanted to go to the construction site to buy crackers.
There you have it! Thanks for reading!

2. While shopping at a busy store, he randomly and loudly said, "Boys have pimples (he means nipples). And girls have......" I tried to change the subject at this point because heads were turning waiting for the answer.
