Who's Grandpa?

It’s been a while, I know. I’m sorry. Life just isn’t always funny.

Hudson and I were running errands yesterday. All of a sudden this big huge silver Mercedes SUV w/an elderly man at the wheel took a quick left right in front of me and I had to slam on my breaks. I yelled ‘WATCH IT GRANDPA!’ and huffed and puffed and shook my head.  As soon as I settled Hudson said to me, ‘Who’s Grandpa? Me’s Grandpa?’ I had to stifle my chuckles and explain to him that mommy wasn’t referring to his Grandpa but to the old man who carelessly put our lives in danger. I then realized I need to watch my mouth.

Later that day, our last errand was to Victoria’s Secret (Contrary to these blog posts I don’t shop there all the time!) I was on the hunt for a purple Tunic Hoodie (they are to DIE FOR by the way) and the Stapleton Store had it in stock.  I told Hudson we were almost done running errands but that we had to run to one more store. He asked if there were toys for him there and I chucked and thought, well not right now but some day you may appreciate it this place more when you’re not shopping with your mom. HA. Anyways, when we got there he was looking around and I could tell his gears were turning.  He finally looked at me and said ‘Store for Girls Butts!’ I said yea Bud, this is a store where Mommies can buy underwear. I explained how he wears underwear and mommies do too and this is where theirs comes from. While we were in line checking out he told the lady in front of us that this is a ‘store for girls butts’ and she and everyone around of course lost it too. The kid’s observant, what can I say?

While I’m not participating in the 30 days of Thankfulness on Facebook I will say that I am thankful for his innocence and his uninhibited humor, the days would be much longer and less tolerable without it.
