Valid Presidential Platforms

Wee Boy: so Dave which one are you cheering for? Obama or Romney?
Me: oh I dunno. I like some things each of them say and don’t like other things they say. How about you?
Wee Boy: well, I am cheering for Romney. I guess the issue I agree with him on is that he supports a better future. I think that’s a pretty good idea.

Valid Concerns

(Walking the trash cans back from the curb)

Wee Boy: Dave you know what fear I’ve had lately?
Me: what’s that?
Wee Boy: oh, like what if a monster came and ripped out my bladder?
Me: what? Why are you thinking about that?
Wee Boy: oh I dunno. Just one of those things I guess. But that’d be really bad if that happened because I’d get blood all over my penis

Christmas List Qualities

Wee Boy: So Dave, I’m making my Christmas list, and I just want to tell you, I think you’ll be happy with most of it, but there’s some things I had to ask Santa for that you may not be happy about. But don’t worry, I cut it down so there’s only six animals on it.

Thoughts about flying

Wee Boy: can you sleep on planes
Me: oh yeah…something about jet noise makes me pass right out Wee Boy: oh. Okay.
(A minute later)
Wee Boy: you think you fart in your sleep when you’re on a plane?
Me: what? What made you ask that?
Wee Boy: oh, I guess it’s one of those things I wonder about.

How Babies are Made

Wee Boy: so Dave, after you got on the train my mom told me how a baby is made. It’s disgusting! I can’t believe the penis actually goes inside the vagina!
Me: well yeah, that’s about the size of it.
Wee Boy: yeah. I can’t believe that’s how it works! If I were making a baby I’d make sure my balls didn’t touch the vagina because that’s gross!

Feeling Sorry for Mitt Romney

Wee Boy(at his computer): I really feel sorry for Mitt Romney
Me: oh yeah? Why’s that?
Wee Boy: well he lost the election to Obama, and based on these votes, he’s going to lose the Time For Kids Person of the Year to Obama AND Michael Phelps! I wish he could at least win SOMETHING for once!

Emotions and Sharks

Wee Boy: so Dave what would you think if I had no emotions?
Me: well I think life would be pretty boring. You’d never laugh or be happy
Wee Boy: yeah but I’d never be scared or sad either.
Me: yeah that’s true I guess
Wee Boy: plus I wouldn’t have to worry about monster or shark attacks so that’d be nice
Me: haha why do you say that?
Wee Boy: well you know how monsters and sharks are, they chase people when they are scared. If they saw me they’d just think I’m weird and chase somebody else
