Last one, I swear

Well, for this week at least.

 

Spencer, Hannah and I visited stopped by and said “hi” to Duke at work today. In the car on the way home, Spencer asked me what Duke had said to me when they weren’t listening. I told him that he’d said that he loves me and gave me a kiss.

Spencer: “Mom, why does Dad love you?”

Me: (trying to be modest) “Oh, I don’t know. Probably lots of reasons.”

Hannah: (from the back of the van) “Because her is the BOSS, Spence.” *At this point I’m trying as hard as I can not to laugh out loud.

Spencer: “Psh. (yes- he really says “psh”. Precocious little stinker.) I know why he loves you, Mom.”

Me: “Why?”

Spencer: “Because you’re his life.”

 

AWWWWWWWWWWW!!!! That kid is awesome sometimes. So then I had to figure out what he meant by “life”…

 

Me: “Oh? I’m his life? What does that mean?”

Spencer: “That he loves you. I read about lifes. I know.”

Me: “Really? Where?”

Spencer: “From you.”

 

*Shrug* I’m still having a little trouble deciphering the life thing. Either way, Spencer frequently says the most profound things. What a great kid I have. : )
