What Will He Ask Me Next?

Paxton cracks me up with the comments he makes & questions he asks. The other day he called me a doofus and that was quickly followed up by "Mom, what's a doofus?" (You can tell his older brother has called him that once or twice.) Yesterday Paxton spilled something & I said "look what you did" & he said all dramatic like "Forgive me." Then he follows that up with "Mom, what is forgive me?" I thought, geez for not knowing what that is you sure used it in the right context. So I explained it's like "I'm sorry." Now he says it all the time after he does something that warrants a sorry. Paxton was asking where the Easter Bunny gets all the stuff he brings to everyone & then the other night Paxton asked how babies get in your tummy. I haven't had to worry about that question from my 9 yr old & here it comes from my 4 yr old. I skirted around the issue & he kept asking "but how does the baby get in your tummy?" I said something about how a baby starts out real small like a little seed in your tummy & grows little by little. That got him thinking for a bit & then he said "Oh, I know....a baby grows from a piece of candy & when you drink water it goes into your tummy & grows." Hey, I'll let him think that if it gets me off the hook with "the question" for several years.
