My youngest brother N is a very curious little lad, just like every other 5year old I suppose. The following conversation went on between us yesterday. (FYI: he calls me mommy and he calls mom, “mom”)
N: Mommy is it raining?
N: Mommy is it raining?
Me: yes honey, it is. Why?
N: I want to go play in the rain.
Me: you already have a cold; you can go some other time when you’re feeling better.
N: but I’m feeling better now.
I give him his coloring book
Me: why don’t you go color this?
N: Mommy are the trees still outside?
Me: (Dumbstruck by the question) yes honey, why?
N: Then why don’t they catch a cold?
I didn’t have an answer to that, do you?
