Preschool Dispatches

Rara:  So is Emily your girlfriend, Deetman?

Deetman:  No!  She's my friend but she's not my girlfriend.  I can't even understand anything she says.

Rara:  Can she understand what you say to her?

Deetman:  No, because I never say anything to her.

Me:  You can't understand what she says to you and you never say anything to her?   Yup, sounds like she's your girlfriend.

.................

Deetman:  Mummy!  There's a boy at preschool named Max, just like in Where The Wild Things Are!

Me:  Oh, that's cool, buddy.

Deetman:  And there's a boy at church named Max too.

Me:  There is?  I didn't know that.  I don't think I've met him.

Deetman:  And Mummy!  The boy named Max at preschool and the boy named Max at church have the same face!

Me:  The same face?  What do you mean, the same face?  Is it the same boy?  Is there a boy from church that's also in your preschool!

Deetman:  Yes, the same boy!  I think it's the same boy!  That's why he has the same name and the same face. 

..................

Deetman:  You know what I'm going to do when I grow up Mummy? 

Me:  What, baby?  Go up in a cherry picker?

Deetman:  Yes!  But two other things too.  Three things.

Me:  What are the other things?

Deetman:  I'm going to go up in a cherry picker, be a daddy of children, and be a soccer player.

Me:  Sounds like a good life, baby.

Deetman:  Yeah, sounds like a good life.

Highway chat

Rara:  Omigosh, Mommy, did you see what was drawn on the back of that truck?

Me:  Hmmm, I was hoping you would miss that.

Rara's friend: What was it?

Rara:  Ummmm, it was, ummmm, a boy thing?  A thing that boys have?

Rara's friend:  Oh gross!

Deetman:  What thing that boys have?  What was on the truck?

Rara:  You know that thing that you have?  And Daddy has?

Rara's friend:  And me and your mom and Rara don't have?

Deetman:  What, an iPhone?

Rara and Friend:  Hahahahaha!  No!

Deetman:  Hmmmm.  Sunglasses?

Rara:  No!  It's a thing that you use every day, like in the bathroom.

Me:  It's the thing you have to take your hand off of when Abu touches the top of her nose.

Deetman:  What?  I take my hand off it?  What? 

Me:  You know.  The thing that you have your hand on and then Abu touches the top of her nose and that means take your hand off it?

Deetman:  What, a penis?  ( laughing ) There was a penis drawn on a truck?!?  I want to see it!

Me:  The truck's gone now buddy.

Deetman:  But you can catch up to it Mommy!  Catch up!

Rara and Friend:  Yeah, catch up, catch up!

Me:  No.  I don't think I will.
