Anything But Gray

Jaime, Ben, Zak and I were all in the bathroom one morning  last week or so, getting ready…brushing teeth, doing hair, you know the drill.

I'm doing Jaime's hair and Zak is helping Ben brush his teeth and Jaime starts talking about how you can't measure the temperature of the water near Alaska. I ask her "What do you mean, baby?" And she goes on to explain that she was looking at a map at school and it said that you can't measure the water that surrounds Alaska. I ask her "Well, what did the map say that makes you think that?" And I am completely lost on what the heck she is talking about so I am really curious about her answer. She says….and I swear to God this is the truth….."The map says not to scale." And I about DIE laughing. It is all I have to not fall to the floor in utter hysterics. That is just so classic! That is the kind of thing that would happen in a freakin' sitcom and you'd say "No, that doesn't happen in real life!" I just so loved it..the innocence in it just made me fall in love with that child even more….so I pull myself together and Zak is trying not to laugh, too and I ask her "Well, what do you think scale means, Jaime?" And she says she thinks it means you can't measure the temperature of the water…..

Both Zak and I manage to keep from laughing cause obviously we don't want her thinking we are laughing at her and Zak wound up explaining what "not to scale" really means, later and he thinks she understands the concept now but oh my gosh, that was the funniest thing that has come out of that kids mouth in a long time and I had to share….

More later!!
