To share another blog...

I had to blog this. This is from another blog that is on my hometown newspaper's website. It's just dad's that can blog on this...I found this one particularly amusing. Just another thing that cracks me up about kids...so innocent.

The truest gifts
My wife and I have made it a practice, for at least the last two years, of not spending a great deal of money on Christmas presents for each other.
It's not that we don't want to be gifted (we do still treat each other to sundries via our stockings). It's just that we'd rather spend the majority of our Christmas allotment on our kids. Just feels right.
And as usual, the kids had a great holiday. But it was actually one of my stocking stuffers that entertained me the most -- or more specifically, what was done with it after I got it.
As a gag, my wife bought me the book pictured at right. (And yes, the gag is that the book is comprised entirely of blank pages.)
So our 6-year-old decided to start filling the book with the things HE knows about women. To help me figure it out, of course.
Here are a few excerpts from his entries so far (listed here as they were written):
"Men no that wimen have long haer."
"And wimen whar deodorant. And women whaer lotion. And women have pony tails. And women doro (draw) beautiful pictures."
And here's the one that floored me:
"And whimen have breasts."
Yes, they do. Apparently he had to ask how to spell the word, but he knew what he wanted to say.
This'll turn out to be my guidebook on male-female relationships. I can feel it.

Whimen are pretty fantastic, aren't they. What a trip that the book was blank, too. Good one, Nici, and welcome back Old Friend...we've missed you so. (Old friend as in long-time friend. No cracks about your age there, Nic.)
