Going to New York…

My son just walked by.

With a rolling backpack.

He said, “I’m going to New York.”

Then he said, “grastos tambien.”

“Ah ok” I said….confused but not dumb enough to ask questions.

“That means spinning top, mommy.”

Sure it does.

    Ohhhhhh I wish you were coming to NY!!!

    I’d take you to Pottery Barn :) And to eat amazing pizza of course :)

  3. Can you get him to do the packing for you??
    Now THAT would be an accomplishment for any man!

    Let me know if you need me to pick him up at the train station. I’ve got room on the couch. LOL.

  5. maybe he’s off the work as a translator at the UN? me gusta that kid!

    At least he’s going to a real city. I’m being bombarded with demands to be taken to IK. Now, IK is a town between Clinton and Spain. I was expected to take a bike ride there on Saturday. Do you know how hard it is to find a city that doesn’t exist??

    • Kim says:

      Yeah but you can say “ok, find it on a map and I’ll take you” and not have to worry.

      • Lori says:

        No, that doesn’t work. He tells me which roads (having a bit of OCD about maps)to take. I think I was able to convince him that the pumpkin patch we went to today was IK.

        • Kim says:

          Maybe one day you should just get in the car and let him tell you where to go LOL. Maybe you’ll end up here.

          Actually yes.

          I never told told you this before, but I live in IK.

          • Lori says:

            What do you mean “let him tell me” – that is every day of my life! We have arguments over which way to go. “No, Mom, that’s not the right way!” or “You missed the turn!”. There’s a very eerie sense of direction and location that I can’t fight. I’ll try IN as IK!

  7. OMG, that is too funny. What a cutie!

  8. Heather says:

    is he going to be a hobo for Halloween?

  9. Only your child Kim.

  10. Can you ask him if I can come with? He sounds like my kind of people!
