Today, I'm in two places at once. Okay. Not really. But I am a guest over at Jodi Desautel's blog. If you have a moment, please stop by for a visit!
Now for the story:
Last night, when I was tucking my nine-year-old son into bed, I noticed he seemed to be having a fixation with his feet.
"Dude," I said. "Why are you playing with your feet? It's time for bed!"
"Mama, there something really interesting going on here."
I raised my eyebrows. "Apparently. What is so interesting about your feet?"
"There are letters on them. Look, Mama." He traced some lines on the sole of his foot. "This is the letter 'A.' Do you have a letter 'A' on your foot?"
"You seriously want me to take my sock off and see if I have a letter 'A' on the bottom of my foot?"
"Yes, Mama!"
I sighed and inspected the bottom of my foot. Sure enough, there was a letter "A" on the bottom. "Are you happy, Bubba?"
He shook his head. "Look. Here's a letter 'M.' Do you have a letter 'M'?"
I looked. I did. "Yes, Bubba. I have a letter 'M.'"
"Mama, do you know what that means?"
"No, Bubba, I don't."
"It means we're related!"
Imagine that!
lol that is quite the connection. Spells Ma too
ReplyDeleteHa! You're right - it does!
DeleteLOL So funny!
ReplyDeleteHe cracks me up with the things he comes up with!
DeleteAww! That's so adorable!
ReplyDeleteI thought it was cute, too!
DeleteNow you have proof!
ReplyDeleteYes I do. I can't deny he's my son!
DeleteHe is so observant!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would've ever noticed that when I was nine years old!
DeleteThat's adorable!
ReplyDeleteHe's so funny!
DeleteI thought we get letters on our feet from fathers :P
ReplyDeleteHa! Apparently not at my pad!
DeleteAh so that's how it's done....with the feet. What a genius of a son you have.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
He could teach geneticists a thing or two!
DeleteHehehe! How clever!
ReplyDeleteMaybe he could make a complete sentence with all the letters on his feet!
DeleteTalk about your son putting his best foot forward. Hilarious! :) Almost a theme for the dreaded A to Z.
ReplyDeleteGary :)
That's a good challenge for him - to find all the letters of the alphabet on his feet!
DeleteThat must have been quite a shock for you because of course you don't remember giving birth to that child.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
It was quite a shock! I nearly fell off the bed when he told me! ;0)
DeleteBetter than a DNA test!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteHahahahaha. Great kid.
ReplyDeleteHe's certainly a funny one!
DeleteThank you again for being interviewed, Sherry. You are drawing quite a crowd! Okay… I am seriously trying to hold myself back from taking of my shoes and socks to check me feet for letters! LOL!
ReplyDeleteThanks for having me as a guest!
DeleteYou seriously need to check the bottom of your feet. I'm sure you have at least one or two letters lurking there!
You have a heredity expert in the house.:)
ReplyDeleteOr so he thinks!
DeleteYour son is very brilliant to think like this at his age!!
ReplyDeleteThe way his mind works truly amazes me!
DeleteSo cute! What a creative and smart kid :)
ReplyDeleteThat he is!
DeleteSherry, I also enjoy reading more about you. Jodi conducted a great interview. I love Bubba 's imagination. :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by. I saw your comment!
DeleteBubba does have a great imagination!
Evidence that you are related
ReplyDeleteWho needs gene testing when foot testing works just fine? ;0)
DeleteOnly my boy would come up with something like that!
ReplyDeleteHah! He's too precious. Now I'm going to have to look over my feet and the kids feet. Are we labeled too?
ReplyDeleteHa! Probably. You'll have to let me know how it turns out!
