My Conversation With Jack This Morning

Jack (playing in the pantry he's named "the restaurant.") "Mom! Guess what I'm making?"
Me: "What?"
J: "Well, we're out of protein powder and you haven't gone to the store so I had to make some. It's strawberry flavored!"
M: "Wow!"
J: "Yeah! My kids LOVE it!"
M: "Your kids? How many kids do you have?"
J: "Um, 9."
M: "9? Wow! Where did you get 9 kids?"
J: "From the store. They were having a baby sale and parents brought the kids they didn't want and we got 9 of them for $20.07"
M: "Huh. That's pretty cheap. So why did parents bring their kids there? Are they naughty?"
J: "No, they just make a big mess in the bathroom. They go potty a lot. But we have 10 bathrooms so it's okay."
M: "Who's we?"
J: "Me and Reddo's wife. Reddo had 12 heart attacks so he died and I got his wife!"
M: "12 heart attacks?? How sad is that?"
J: "Pretty sad. He was, um, let me think--13 years old."
M: "Yikes. 13 years old, a wife and 9 kids and he had 12 HEART ATTACKS??"
J: "Yep!"

He just amazes me at the stuff he comes up with. Seriously! His imaginary friend Joey has 17 kids. Poor Joey keeps getting fired from his jobs. First he was a construction guy but got fired because he dug a hole too deep so Jack had to take his job as the construction boss. Now he's a police officer. Let's hope this is a better career path for him!
