Yesterday, I had two remarkable conversations with my children. The first conversation was with my four year old daughter. We were shopping in Trader Joe's and she was looking at the beach scenes painted on the walls and loudly asked if someday we could go waterboarding. I quickly asked if she meant surf boarding as some people in line were giving me funny looks. I think that most of the people in line quickly understood what she meant and stopped suspecting that I work for the government in foreign countries and that I take bring your kid to work day to seriously.
My second remarkable conversation was with my seven year old son. We were in the car waiting for his mother and sister to return from a quick run into another store. He suddenly asks me if when he grew up if he started a car insurance company and named it Eico ("Geico without the G in front" is how he put it) would he get sued by Geico.
I am constantly amazed at what my little ones come out with.
PS: The four year old daughter comes and tells me that she bumped her arm. She is pointing to a spot on her arm that has no signs of bruising, swelling or any other indication of injury. So I perform the universal parental cure. I kiss the boo boo to make it better. I asked her if that made her all better. She replied: "No daddy, I need an ice pack to make it better"
Kids!
I'm still really afraid of what he'll come up with for his car insurance company spokesperson.
