Well, keeping with my SCHOOL theme for Scrolling Saturdays, I hope you enjoy this repost from October 25, 2007. OK - gotta run to my French course. Au revoir!
Stay in School Speech
Is it ever too early to start giving the "Stay in School" speech? I do not think so...especially after walking DJ to the bus stop yesterday.
Here is the conversation I had with my son, the Junior-Kindergarten Attendee:
DJ: WOW mom, I like all the leaves. They are pretty colours. Why do they change colours in the Fall?
ME: Well, the tree knows that winter is coming and some leaves do not like the cold, so when the summer sun is not helping them stay green, they start to change colour and then they fall to the ground.
DJ: Oh. Cool. So, leaves fall so we know it is fall. What is that man doing?
ME: He is fixing his ditch drainage pipe. Maybe some dirt got into it and he needs to clear it out.
DJ: Oh. Cool. Look at the plane in the sky mom. How does it stay up there?
ME: The pilot knows how strong the engine needs to be and the right angle for the wings and the plane stays up with aerodynamics - or something like that.
DJ: Oh. Cool. Boy mom, you are really smart.
ME: Thanks DJ. You will get very smart too the longer you go to school. It is important to keep in school and learn all kinds of cool stuff.
DJ: Mom, I think kindergarten is enough for me. If I ever need to know anything, I can just ask my smart mommy.
hmmmmmmm....do I have him fooled or what!

aaaawww.... that is too sweet. Thanks for sharing!
That is awesome! You'd better enjoy that while you can because I hear that as teenagers, kids think that their parents don't know anything. ;)
Great repost!
Oh, to have them stay at that stage...you know...the one where the mom knows EVERYTHING! Unfortunately, they DO grow up...and become high schoolers, whose parents aparently know nothing. What happens to warrant THAT?!?
...and weren't you tempted to say, "yes, you can! and you can stay at home & live with me FOREVER!" ...I get tempted to say that....
oh...and apparently at some point you'll know absolutely NOTHING!, so enjoy this time now!
Smart kiddo!! LOL
Enjoy it while you can, sooner or later he will think he knows everything and you know nothing...little ones are so sweet :)
that is so great! my littlest guy still thinks i know how to do everything, and know the answers to everything! but, my older kids...they seem to have a problem...all of them...with their eyes...they are always rolling, when i talk! hmmm...what's up with that?!
How cute!!! That was a precious conversation - I love how wonderful they think we are. Have a great weekend - see you soon. Kellan
My problem is that my 8 year old keeps asking me questions that I don't know the answers to. I day "I don't know" waay to often.
You need to bottle that up and keep it close in preparation for the teenage years!
Heidi :)
Yea, my kids are already at the stage where they realize mommy's not as smart as they once thought she was! Great post.
Hahahahahah! I love it! He got you!
I love this..that is so cute!! I will never forget the day when my kids figured out that I didn't know everything...very sad day for everyone...now my oldest is coming upon the day when she thinks I know nothing!!!
this is adorable! and no it is never too early for that talk!
Congrast on the almost 100 posts! Keep on going!
