On the way to Richard's school today, we saw that a neighbor had cut a tree down. Richard asked why they did that. I told them that maybe the tree died and they were getting rid of it. He innocently asked how trees die. I explained that sometimes they get bugs in them that kill them, and explained like our corn plants died from too many bugs. I said that they also sometimes get diseases. That my Dad died of cancer, a type of DISEASE.
Richard matter of factly said, "When I dance I get DIZZY. But I don't get sick, just dizzy." It was all I could do to not laugh so hard. That is the cutest, funniest thing I have ever heard!!! Now I'll have to explain that I was talking about DISEASE, not being DIZZY. What a fun, entertaining boy. He always keeps us on our toes!
Richard is soo cute! That goes to show you that we really need to watch what we say. The little ones listen...even everyday things can be mistaken.
