Conversations with a 5 year old

My son Deegan, 5, has a wild imagination and wide range of vocabulary.  This is conversation is one of the tamer ones.

 

Deegan asks, "Mommy what does child mean?"

Me, "You're a child.  It means some one about your age until you're about 10 or 12."

Deegan, "Well okay, but I'd really like to get back to being a kid."

 

Later on...

Deegan, "Mommy do they put kids in jail?"

Me, "If they are really naughty."

Deegan, "Can parents go to jail?"

Me, "Yes and then their kids have to go live with a different family."

Deegan, "If Daddy gets tossed into jail, and you get tossed into jail, we're going to go live with Grandma and Grandpa Johnson."

Me, "Do you want this to happen?"

Deegan, "Maybe"

 

Nice child I have there!  :)
