Conversation I Never Thought I'd Have, Number 423

Cam: Daddy, I love little girls! They're so cute!

Me: Oh yeah, buddy? Who do you think is cute?

Cam: Mowgli!

Me: But Mowgli is a boy.

Cam: I like him. He's cute!

Me: Oh, okay. Yeah I guess he is kinda cute.....

Cam: Do you like little girls?

Me: (Long pause) Uhh, yeah... I guess so... um, I like Rachael, and she's little......

Cam: I love little girls.

Overheard

In the car, we are listening to "If I Had a Million Dollars":

Me: Hey, Cammy, this band is called the Bare Naked Ladies. Isn't that silly?

Cam: What's silly about it?

Me: Well, because they're not naked and they're not ladies.

Cam: And they're not bears, either.

At a restaurant, we are finishing up lunch:

Cam: (turning red with effort) Mommy! I'm going poo poos!

Me: (quietly) Ok, buddy. Thanks for letting me know.

Cam: (loudly) Mommy, why does poo poo come out of my bum bum?

Me: (smiling apologetically at the man sitting within earshot) Um. . .I don't really know, buddy. That would have been a good question to ask the doctor at your check-up.

Cam: Mommy, you pretend to be the doctor, and I'll be Cammy.

Me: Um. . .

Cam: (loudly, oh so loudly) DOCTOR, WHY DOES POO POO COME OUT OF MY BUM BUM?

Me: Uh. . .

Cam: BECAUSE IT LOOOOOOOOVES TO SEE MY DIAPER!!

Cam: (screaming) HI!! HI MR. S!!!!!

Mr. S: (chuckling) Hi!

Cam: WE'VE BEEN WATCHING YOU!

Mr. S: . . .
