Why?

During breakfast last weekend Ethan asked, "Mom, why do only girl cows have utters?"
I responded, "Because girl cows give the milk."
"But why?"
"Well, it's just like humans. The mothers give the milk."
"Yeah, but why?"
"That's just the way God made us."
"Mom, why do you say 'that's just the way God made us' when you don't know the answer?"

Back in Time

While Ethan and Olivia were playing this weekend, I overheard Ethan say, "This is one of my science experiments from the 1990s." This made me chuckle, because he doesn't have any idea what the 1990s even means, but I think he picked up the phrase after watching some old VHS tapes we picked up at a garage sale recently.

Times to Decorate and Times to Not

Livi had just finished putting on her new dress this morning when Ethan asked, "Mom, why does Livi have to decorate like that? She's not going anywhere today."

I guess according to Ethan, her dress was too fancy for a stay home day.

Pool Teams!

At my mom's birthday party a week ago, my friend, Katie, asked Ethan, "Ethan do you want to be on my team when we play pool? We would totally dominate!"
Ethan looked her right in the eyes and said matter-of-factly, "Well......I don't know what any of those words mean."

Pinterest

Ethan collected a few leaves on our hike today. As we were heading home he said, "Mom can you look on pinterest for a project for us to do with theses leaves?"
I guess he's figured out the source of my creativity!
