Last week in the car on the way to daycare, Hollis and I started talking about how he won't have school again until the Fall. Then he demanded to know why T and I don't go to school anymore. I explained that Daddy and I had already finished school and there wasn't much more school we could do.
Hollis and I have talked about college in the past and my pat answer when he asks why he can't have something is, "Because it costs too much money and we need to save it for your college." So I told him I'd already been to college. Mommy already finishing college seemed to click with Hollis and our conversation moved on.
"Mommy, I'm going to go to college so we need to take all the money out of my piggy bank so I can go."
"Yes, Sweetie, it will cost a lot of money, but you have a long time before college."
"I'm in preschool now, Mommy. Then I'll go to college."
"Well, Hollis, you have a few more years. You won't go to college until you're big like Daddy."
"Ohhhhhh." Hollis contemplated this for awhile.
"Mommy?"
"Yes, sweetie?"
"When I'm big I don't want those big things on me like you have."
??????
"You mean my breasts, sweetie?"
"Yes. I don't want those."
"No need to worry, Hollis, only girls get breasts, not boys."
"Oh."
Hollis was quiet for a few moments and then he asked,
"Then why does Pop Pop have them?"
(Pop Pop is Grandpa - T's dad.) I have to admit I couldn't stop laughing for about 10 minutes, meaning Hollis is nearly guaranteed to repeat that comment! Sorry, T Sr.!
Now I'm having "Bro" flashbacks.
