Cody knows everything there is to know about life. Just ask Logan.
It’s so cute to listen to the two of them. I often overhear them talking and it has become apparent to me that Logan is using Cody as his main source of information, which is both sweet and scary.
The conversation I heard last night wasn’t so bad. They were in the bathroom brushing their teeth and surveying their dad’s handiwork on the shower he’s putting in.
“Cody, is the tub old?” Logan asked.
“No, Logan, it’s not old,” Cody replied, in tones indicating that he’s privy to the endless knowledge the world holds.
The tub is, in fact, very old.
A more alarming conversation took place last week.
“Cody, how are babies born?” asked Logan. (I was standing in the next room, torn between chuckling and petrification that the question might lead to deeper questions requiring explanation on the baby issue.)
“Logan,” they always use each other’s names at the beginning of their sentences, “they come out of a special tunnel,” said Cody authoritatively. Not bad, I thought.
“Babies come out of a special tunnel that they have to crawl out of,” Cody added. Sort of true.
“They have to climb out of their moms’ mouths, Logan,” my little encyclopedia finished. Oh dear.
“Ohhh, that’s weird,” said Logan.
I decided that in this case a little misinformation wouldn’t be all bad and left it at that. They’ll figure out the truth eventually.
Do you have a humorous example of kids getting their information from other kids, whether from your own childhood or your kids’?
Ha!! I love it!
