Charlie: Mom, when will be the last day?
Me: The last day of what?
Charlie: The last day.
Me: The last day of school?
Charlie: No, just the last day.
Me: You mean the last day ever? Like the last day of the world?
Charlie: Yeah.
Me: I have no idea.
It amazes me that this kid can go from such deep philosophical thoughts as the one above to this:
"Mom, when I was born, I wish you would have named me 'Farty.'"
He's lucky his older brother didn't hear that one, or that nickname might have stuck for life.
He's been on a kick contemplating alternative names for people (maybe because of all the business of naming our kittens). Last night at supper, he pointed at Elena and said, "I wish when she was born, you would have named her 'Accident.'"
And Seth replied, "You have no idea how funny that is." She was not, by the way. I know what some of you are thinking...
