So, there are some things in a kid's life that you just tend to assume are self-explanatory, right? I mean, sure you can't trust them not to put buttered bread in the toaster, but still and all, some stuff just seems obvious. Yeah, gotta watch that.
The other day, I was at my daughter's house, just visiting and chatting. Grandson on the couch with a book, Maria and I standing in the kitchen area. I'd been telling her about a conversation I'd had with a friend. We had been talking about my mom (aka Ma) and how she'd been doing lately, what with it being my late father's birthday, and my brother living with her for nearly two years now, and various other things.
Me: "He says Ma's just lonely."
Maria: "No...."
Brady: "Ma's with Uncle John now!"
Me: "Um, Brady, uh... you do know that John is Ma's son, right? They're not together, right?"
Brady: "Oh, so they're not getting married!"
Eventually, we were able to stop laughing. Maria didn't even wet her pants!
