Logic

Spencer and I were hanging out in the girls' bedroom, watching them open the boxes that contained the brand-new outfits they'd ordered for their American Girl dolls. (I know, I know -- not exactly a "boy-type" activity, but what almost-seven-year-old can resist watching a package be opened?)

Once I had sufficiently "ooo-ed" and "aah-ed" over the wee sweatpants and jeans and socks and jackets, I motioned to Spencer.

"Okay, dude," I said. "We need to leave now so that the dollies can have some privacy." Surely Felicity and Samantha would want to try on their new clothes, sans Little Brother.

Spencer met my gaze as he walked toward the door.

"But Mommy. They don't have any private parts."

And I, the ever-talking wonder, had no response.

He he he

I love the way kids think. What they say is perfectly true yet it lacks the key element of the reason why.

The Bear's usual response to "Why did you do that?" is "Because I did!" LOL
