Carter Says

I love talking with Carter. We have lots of funny conversations lately. I wish I could remember them all right now but here are a few of them ...

----------

Carter was wearing a pair of jeans that had a hole in the knee. He asked earlier in the day why there was a hole, and I told him they were getting old and worn out.

Later in the day, Carter says to me, "You're old and worn out."

Me: "What?!?!?"

Carter: "Are your jeans old and worn out?"

Good save.

----------

Me: "I want you to stay little forever!"

Carter: "No, I going to eat a lot so I get big and be a fireman!"

----------

For some reason I was saying something out loud to myself. Carter asked what I was doing and I told him I was talking to myself.

This conversation happens all the time now, especially in the car:

Carter: "Mommy, mommy, mommy, mommy."

Me: "What?"

Carter: "I just talking to myself."

----------

And we've reached the "Why?" phase.

I'll say some random statement.

Carter: "Why?"

I'll answer with some reason.

Carter: "Why?

Repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat, etc.

I'll usually give up first and just say "I don't know."

Then Carter says "why" 20 times in a row.
