Funniest conversation I've had this week.

Hubby put the 5-year-old to bed last night. 20 minutes later he starts hollering for me.

Me: What's the problem, buddy?

Cody: I told you I can't sleep for 7 days.


He's referring to a bribe I've made with him that if he stays in his bed for 7 days I'll buy him anything in the world he wants including a house with an indoor swimming pool.


Me: No one can stay awake for 7 days. You need to go back to sleep. I'll lay down with you for one song.


Referring to the Best of Thomas the Train Music that he listens to every night. Why do I torture myself with this music? I think some of my friends back in college stayed awake for 7 days, but that was due to some pharmaceutical help. When is Ambien going to come out with a product for children?


Cody: How are ears pierced?

Me: My ears aren't pierced.
He feels my ears. Is there no trust in this world?

Cody: I know, but how are ears pierced.

Me: They put a needle through your earlobe. It's very quick, but hurts a little.

Cody: I'm never going to do that.

Me: You don't want to look like Uncle Mark?

Cody: Grandma has her ears pierced.

Me: Yep, Grandma likes her earrings.

Cody: She wears them to look pretty.

Me: Yes, she does.

Cody: She's old and going to die.

Me: Don't say that! That's not nice.

Cody: No, she's old and going to get older and then going to die.

Me: Well, yes, I guess one day, but we hope that day isn't for a long time.

Cody: Unless she believes in beaver.

Me: What?
Did he just say Beiber or beaver. I'm not sure what's worse.

Cody: If you believe in beaver, you will live forever.

Me: Do you mean God?

Cody: Yes. Beaver is another name for Jesus.

Me: Ok. It's time to go to bed.
