Funny converstaions with Cade (Edition 596)

First thing in the morning when Cade is still a little drowsy.

Cade: It's not fair!
Me: What's not fair?
Cade: The Book of Mormon.
Me: What do you mean?
Cade: Jesus said we have to read the Book of Mormon all day, and it's not fair.

I'm sure this stemmed from our nightly scripture reading. Often Cade will say he wants to read a different book instead. I then explain that Heavenly Father and Jesus want us to read the Book of Mormon everyday. He must have had a dream about it. lol!

One night when I was watching American Idol, I told Cade to be quiet because I was watching my favorite show. The next day we had the following conversation . . .

Cade sitting at the kitchen table during breakfast, just talking to himself.
Cade: You stupid girl.
Me: What did you say?
Cade: You stupid girl!
Me: Stupid is not a nice word to say . . . where did you learn that word from?
Cade (with a confused look on his face): That's what they said on American Idol.
Me: Oh, well, we don't say that.

Talk about a dumb mom moment! What am I teaching this kid if the show that is my "favorite" says a "bad word".

While driving in the Car on the way to a play date with friends. . .

Cade: I want to play with Paul's toys when we get there.
Me: It's such a nice day today, so we are going to play outside!
Cade: Why?
Me: Because we need to get out and enjoy nature!
Cade: What's nature?
Me: Well, it's stuff outside, like the trees and flowers and mountains.
Cade: Oh, and the trash cans!
Me: Well, not quite.

Nothing like getting outside to enjoy the beautiful trash cans!

While driving in the car listening to country music on the radio. . . the song we were listening to was "Watching Airplanes" by Gary Allen.

Cade: Why is he watching airplanes?
Me: What?
Cade: He's watching airplanes . . . why isn't he watching helicopters?
Me: Oh, your talking about the song.
Cade: I think he should watch helicopters.

I then proceed to tell him about the song and that people fly more in airplanes than in helicopters.

The next song that came on was, "Shift Work" by Kenny Chesney and George Strait.
Cade (After hearing the part that says, "Working 9 to 3, 3 to 11, 11 to 7"): Mom, it doesn't go 9 to 3, it goes 9 to 10!

I then proceeded to explain about time and working shifts that people do. . . It's amazing the things he is picking up on and the things that can be learned from songs!
