Canaan Conversations

From the mouths of babes.....!  Fun quotes from Canaan this week:

Canaan: Dad, why do we have these?  (as he lifts up his shirt and points to his nipples)
Mac:  (a nervous attempt to deter from the conversation) Well...everybody has those.
Canaan:  But why does Mama have big boobies?
Mac:  Because she is a girl and girls have bigger boobies than boys.
Canaan:  Then why doesn't Macy have big boobies?
Mac:  As Macy grows she will start to look more like Mama and as you grow you will start to look more like me.
Canaan: Oh.......can I keep all my blonde hair?


A conversation spawning from a kids encyclopedia reading at bedtime about jobs.  

Amy: Canaan what job do you want to have when you grow up?
Canaan: (laughing) I am not going to have a job!!!
Amy: Then how will you earn money for your food and clothes?
Canaan:  I will just go to my work and pick up my money.
Amy:  Will you work as a doctor?
Canaan:  NO!!!
Amy:  Will you work as a teacher?
Canaan:  NO!!!
Amy:  Will you work as a coach?
Canaan:  NO!!!  I will be a football player!
Amy:   You and your uncle Brad....
Canaan: Why did you say my uncle Brad's name?
Amy: When he was your age, he wanted to be a football player too.
Canaan:  But uncle Brad didn't play football?
Amy:  He did in high school and college.
Canaan: Then what is Brad's work?
Amy:  He works on people's hearts.
Canaan:  Ok.  That will be my job too.

(Brad, you have an admirer.  Keep up the good work.  :0)

That's hilarious! (poor Mac!) Leave it to a child's mind! And Happy Late Birthday to Macy. Thought about her but never left a comment. Can't wait for Gracen to get to play with her again.
