Today as I picked my son up from school I was radio station surfing and settled on an oldies station.
As the song tuned in I started singing and Jake asked “who is this mommy?”
Below is the conversation that followed:
Me: “It’s the Beach Boys.”
Jake: “Well, it could be The Beatles.”
Me: “But it’s not, it’s The Beach Boys.”
Jake: “Mommy, I know that Jefferson Henry is the name of one of The Beatles.”
Me: “What?”
Jake: “Grandma told me that one of The Beatles is named Jefferson Henry. I don’t know all their names except one is named Jefferson.”
Me: “What?”
Jake: “GRANDMA SAID ONE OF THE BEATLES IS JEFFERSON HENRY.”
Me: “None of The Beatles are named Jefferson Henry, they are John, Paul, George and Ringo.”
Jake: “No, Grandma said one of them is named Jefferson. Jefferson Henry. So one is named Jefferson.”
Me: “But their names are John, Paul, George and Ringo.”
Jake: “Well Grandma TOLD ME, so one is named Jefferson Henry.”
Me: stunned silence…
This is the same kid who just tried to convince me we needed to order a walk-in tub from a TV commercial. He wanted me to write the phone number down so I could order one.
About Kim
That’s a riot! Will you be posting pictures of the new tub?
That is too funny. I wonder if Grandma actually told him that or if he misunderstood.
That is just too funny. You cannot argue with a kid who has YOUR mother (or worse, your MIL) behind him. What do you say???
When does the tub arrive?
Man that is funny – of course he sides with grandma! did you ask her if she told him that!!
