Out of the Blue

Carter is at a fun age. Very active, very talkative, and very inquisitive. The things that come out of his mouth sometimes make me wonder what kinds of things go through his mind while he's happily singing and playing pirates in the tub. He always seems to ask such profound questions while he is in the midst of some kind of play or engrossed in a show, that for the life of me, cannot figure out what he was doing or watching that made him think of such things. Sometimes he will say or will ask me if I remember a time when something occurred, that has absolutely nothing to do with what is going on with him at that moment.

Things I have heard out of the blue lately:

While in the grocery store: "Mommy, remember when Grandma and Grandpa came a stayed with Kelsey and me forever when you and Daddy went to Canada?" - he was 3 and how does he remember where we went for 5 days (forever for small children).

After eating dinner, I was in the middle of cleaning the kitchen, and he was making windmills while watching CLOUDY WITH A CHANCE OF MEATBALLS: "Mom, will I die when I am grown up?" - never took his eyes off the windmills.

While driving to school one morning: "Mommy, why do Daddy's look at boobs?" - Was not expecting this one, especially while our carpoolers were still in the car.

Another carpool episode. He says to his friend, Payton who is the same age: "Payton, when I put on my underwear, I have to point my penis down before I pull them up all the way. That's the way your supposed to do it."
The really funny thing about this was that Payton just answered by saying so matter of factly, "Carter, I don't have a penis. I don't think. What is a penis?"
Of course Carter answers, "It's what you go pee with!" Mom changed the subject right there. I should of done it sooner, but it took me a minute to realize the subject matter of their conversation was not my imagination.

While making a cake together this week: "Mom, where does all the trash go after the men pick it up? Do they take it home?"

"What's the difference of a motor and a engine?" - This one I had no idea about!

So many more that I can't remember. I really should be writing all these down, but at this rate, Carter will remind me of them all sometime when he's mowing the lawn someday.
