Lesson on Digestion

We had the most lovely conversation last night while eating dinner.  As we were eating, Caleb decided to tell me where our food will end up.  It started out as a demonstration.  Not a bad one.  He said, "Food goes in our mouth (points to his mouth), down here (sliding his finger down his throat and chest), and end up right here (pointing to his stomach)."  I asked him where does it go once it's in our stomach.  He happily replied that it goes down to our feet.

Well me being me, I have to edge this on.
Me:  No, it doesn't silly.
Caleb:  Where does it go?
Me:  Out your butt.
Caleb:  *giggling*  No it doesn't.
Me:  Yes it does.  That is what our poop is.
Caleb:  *laughing* Ewwwww.  My poop is my food???
Me:  Well sort of.  Where do you think poop comes from?
Caleb:  *giggling*  My butt.  Your silly Mom.

So there it is.  That is your lesson in digestion today. LOL.  Hope you aren't eating while reading this.

My suck it up moment: discussing poop while eating dinner.

Mom's Do Know Everything

For the past couple of months, there has been a commercial on TV, can't remember what they are advertising, but it has everyone going to Mom to find their stuff.  I started thinking that isn't true.

The other day, Caleb was on a search for his TMNT figurine.  He comes to me, "Hey Mom, where is my Leo turtle?"  His new thing is calling me Mom.  I asked him where was he last playing with it and he replied by saying he doesn't know.  I thought for a minute and knew instantly where the turtle was.  I told him and off he goes and it was there.

After that situation, I started thinking about the commercial again and realized how true that is.  

Husband:

Have you seen my iTouch?

Have you seen my phone?

Do you remember how much wood was outside in the wagon?

Where's Caleb's shoes?

Caleb:

Where's my turtles?

Where's my shoes?

Where's my coat?

Where's my sword?

Where's my hat?

Where's my juice?

Where's the computer (iPad)?

Where's my phone?

As these questions are asked, I know exactly where all the items are at.  How is it that 1 Mom can remember where everyone else's things are at but yet loses her own car keys? (Yes, I am speaking of myself in this matter.)

I reflect back on that commercial and realize it is my every day life.  I suck it up and know I am the smart one in the bunch.  LOL.
