"Mama," my nine-year-old son said. "Do you know why we have heads?"
I tried to suppress a grin. "No, Bubba. I have no idea why we have heads."
"They hold our brains."
"Oh. Well, I lost my mind a long time ago, so I probably don't need my head," I said.
"But you need it to blink your eyes. And swallow. And sometimes sneeze."
I looked at the boy. "But Bubba, don't you need a brain to be able to do all those things? I don't have a brain. So why do I need a head?"
He took his hooded jacket and placed the hood over the top of my head. "To hold my jacket!"
Of course.
It's nice to know our heads are good for something (-:
ReplyDeleteYes. I was beginning to think mine was useless. ;0)
DeleteLOL He's hilarious!
ReplyDeleteThis story reminds me of how, just because I carry a purse, I have to hold everyone else's stuff—both the husband's and the kids. :)
Tell me about it! My purse is like a suitcase!
DeleteCongratulations, now you are a coat rack.
ReplyDeleteWhy, thank you! I'm moving up in the world!
Deleteis it wise to admit to the kid that you have no brain? :) He could use it in cunning and sly ways :)
ReplyDeleteHe already figured that out. Here's the trick - if he thinks I have no brain, and it turns out I actually do, I can catch him off-guard and totally outsmart him! ;0)
DeleteOf course why else? clever boy.
ReplyDeleteYvonne.
I would've thought I was a hat-holder. Coats are more impressive though.
DeleteLove it! You have a cute kid! Love his sense of humor. :)
ReplyDeleteHe is pretty funny!
DeleteHaha. What a wise child. :) Fun story!
ReplyDeleteAlways something entertaining from Bubba.
DeleteEnjoy being a coat rack
ReplyDeleteI assure you, it was a thrilling experience!
DeleteWell at least it is good for something and you save space too lol
ReplyDeleteI like practical uses for things!
DeleteI don't have a jacket to hold. Why do I have my head? Please ask Bubba. I suspect he knows the answers to many universal mysteries.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I will ask. And yes, he is a wise young man who knows the secrets to life, the universe, and everything!
DeleteAhhh- now that's one clever boy!
ReplyDeleteYou two always have amazing exchanges. :)
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of scary how alike our brains are! God help him! ;0)
DeleteOh, gosh, LOL! Your son is absolutely precious!! (Have you thought about an ebook, a take-off on Art Linkletter's "Kids Say the Darndest Things?)
ReplyDeleteI was actually considering a cartoon version of Mama Diaries. We'll see what happens.
DeleteOnce again, I love the logic :)
ReplyDeleteHe's quite the thinker!
DeleteHahaha...your son is such a ham!
ReplyDeleteI'd have to agree with that!
DeleteOne of my mom's favorite sayings when I was a kid was this: Why don't you use your head for something other than a hat rack?
ReplyDeleteApparently, she had it all wrong.
Your son is a clever kid:)
Haha! Right. Heads are coat racks. There's a difference!
DeleteLeave it to Bubba to come up with an original answer! Who would have thought of that?
ReplyDeleteThat's my boy!
DeleteLOL! Glad to see your head isn't useless... XD
ReplyDeleteYes, I was really worried about my head!
DeleteGood that it's useful for something!
ReplyDeleteI feel so much better, now!
DeleteJust blogging around and found your blog. So glad to see you here blogging, there is so many deserted blogs these days. Thanks for letting me visit.
