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
aren’t kids great! LOL Sometimes it just doesn’t pay to argue with Grandma either lol
Too funny!
I love his conviction! when you recount this story to him later he is going to insist he never said such a thing, but you have the transcript as proof!
btw, I want one of those walk-in tubs too! I’m a sucker for that stuff. I have sham-wows.
Sham-wows LOL. Do they work?
they do work! My favorite use for sham wow is drying off the dog after his bath.
LOL these kinds of conversations are as good as the ones where your child tells you that you said something that you clearly know you did not.
Uhhh Yeah, if grandma told him then it must be RIGHT.
Plus…I like Jefferson Henry better.
LOL!
Stubborn… just like my youngest. I like how Grandma is the winner in this one! ;-)
That’s hilarious! But now I know what to tell my grandson next time we talk…! :D
Ooh that’s just mean LOL.
Wow! He is opinionated and awesome! (I love the walk-in tub infomercial – he could probably talk me into buying one :)
there was a guy who claimed to be a 5th beatle actually..but his name was Clarence I believe. Which is probably why they kicked him out.
He’s totally going to be a politician. Not many people can leave me with nothing to say, I ALWAYS have a follow up comment. This kid can.
Oh he is one funny boy…!! Jefferson Henry… guess there could have been one more Beatle we didn’t know about!
