"Mama," my nine-year-old son said. "Did you know we're closely related to amphibians?"
I looked at that boy funny. "What do you mean, Bubba? Amphibians are cold-blooded animals, and humans are warm-blooded."
"Humans and frogs can both hang out in water and on land."
"But what about the warm-blooded, cold-blooded thing?" I asked.
He thought about that a second. "Well, frogs are cold-blooded and they croak. When humans become cold-blooded, they croak."
Brilliant!
The little Frog Man keeps astounding us! He's brilliant for sure.
ReplyDeleteHe certainly is a witty one!
DeleteHe has a point.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's a good one!
DeleteHahaha! Your son cracks me up! :-)
ReplyDeleteHe is a funny guy!
Deletelol at least a frog is happy when they croak
ReplyDeleteMaybe humans are, too. ;)
DeleteYay! To Bubba for finding the logic of why I was croaking this morning!
ReplyDeleteHa! Well, now you know you're closely related to a frog!
DeleteFaultless reasoning!
ReplyDeleteI wonder what his science teacher would think of that? ;)
DeleteI croak all the time...
ReplyDeleteSounds like a personal problem. ;0)
DeleteI am not too keen on frogs. We had a fishpond when my husband was alive , After he passed away I decided to change the fish pond into flowers so began the log process of clearing the water out. There was ninety two frogs in that pond......got the next door nieghbour to finish the job.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
You counted the frogs! Wow! My son would've liked removing the frogs for you. (And they probably would've ended up at my house!)
DeleteHard to argue with that kind of logic! :)
ReplyDeleteCroak, croak. LOL.
ReplyDeleteHa! Oh, please don't croak yet! ;)
DeleteHA! Hard to argue with that logic. That boy's going places.
ReplyDeleteHe has a brilliant mind!
DeleteSome things you just can't get past Bubba (-:
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering how that's going to work out when he's a teenager!
Delete*hee* Your son comes up with the most creative theories!
ReplyDeleteThat he does!
Deletethats a great analogy! ha!
ReplyDeletemy boys do the same thing with the laser and our silly yellow lab. boys!
and i'm a dumb, running around crazy mama too, its all good
hope atl is treating you well!
I'm getting used to Atlanta. I just can't believe how busy I am already! But it's all good. Better to be busy than bored!
DeleteLOL! Brilliant! That's the kind of astounding logic we all need. =)
ReplyDeleteI wonder if he'll unlock the Theory of Everything someday. ;)
DeleteThat's really clever!
ReplyDeleteI could print that on a t-shirt. Really smart. :)
ReplyDeleteHey, that's a good idea!
DeleteHee! I love your kid stories. They always make me laugh AND think "hmm, good point..." :)
ReplyDeleteThe logic of a kid!
DeleteOh, I just can't argue with that logic.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant, isn't he?
DeleteKid has no business being more clever than me.
ReplyDeleteHa! I'll let him know you said so.
