Smoking


So today Daxon noticed two women smoking and asked me what they were doing. I told him that what they were doing was not healthy for their lungs and heart, and that when he gets older he might get asked by his friends to smoke. I asked him what he thinks he should say to them. He responds:


" Mom, If you smoke you will explode."


Apparently in his mind he associates smoking with bombs. I will not correct him on his answer.

I LOVE it!! Kids say and think the funniest things. Thanks for sharing, I had a great laugh.

Haha! I love when kids have little misconceptions like that, and you just kind of let them keep thinking it.

Your boys are so cute!

I told Toby that his penis would get smaller--he thought that was so funny. I actually have no idea why I told him that. Bad mothering I guess.

Ditto, buddy! And good job for not correcting him. Let him just go right on believing that is what will happen.

Your kids are darling, and you are such a sweet mom. I love these cute little things kids say.

Made Ross pause to TV to hear this and somehow I ruined it-- he didn't laugh, just chuckled... and I'm still laughing. Smart boy that Dax.

That is hilarious. I also think that is what he should think happens. Much more scary for a little boy than he might get cancer or have a bad addiction and your not supposed to!!

So funny! I would let him keep believing that too. Ry is not a fan of smoking and makes a point to make a comment every time she sees someone doing it. I am just waiting for someone to come over and yell at me because of her.
