deep thoughts by cale...

let me set the scene for the following conversation that took place between the boy and his mama... cale, because he's a boy and it is utterly impossible for him to put his big toe outside without getting filthy from head to toe, had to bathe after being outside sunday afternoon. when the bath was finished, i asked him to pull the plug to drain the tub. the entire time the tub was draining, he stood there... naked (of course), with his hands on his hips, and his belly pooching out. i, as the ever observant mama, deducted that there were deep thoughts rolling around in that little head... so I said...

mama: "cale, get out of the tub... now"

cale: "i think i'm gonna stick my pee pee down the drain"

(in the mama's head: what, really?!?!?!?!)

mama (very calmly, and not laughing): "why would you do that?"

cale: "i dunno..."

mama: "what would happen if your pee pee went down the drain?"

cale: "i would get little and go down the drain and get it"

mama: "how would you put it back on?"

cale: "i'd just hammer it back on!"

OK. This conversation is right up there with the one your brother had at about the same age, anatomy in the same geographical area, while getting in the tub, and Gramps was responsible for his saying it. We still laugh about it to this day. Of course, it's not the only thing he ever said that we still laugh about to this day, but Poppy said last week, during a "Cale-ism" in FL that he sure hoped Cale had Uncle John's quick wit with that intelligence. Guess that conversation answers his wish!!
