Okay so I had to post this right now, or it wouldn’t get done.
.
This morning I was telling Lovebug about Joshua from the Bible. That apparently reminded him of Jonah, which in turn reminded him of a whale, which reminded him of “Happy Feet”, which reminded him of the scariness of whales and sharks.
.
He said to me, “I don’t like whales and sharks cause they cut you.” I responded, “Do you mean they have sharp teeth that can cut you?” ”Yeah,” he replied, “I like little fish cause they just look at me.” ”And they have crabs too!” he added.
.
I don’t know why but the first thing that came to my mind was crab legs. ”Did you know some people like to eat crabs?” I asked. “And some people like to eat fish too! Daddy does, but Mommy doesn’t.”
.
He looked at me with a kinda confused half smile and asked, “Why you tell me that?”
.
Oh my goodness, I really didn’t know. I was just trying to be informative, I guess. I normally just narrate the world to him, and since we don’t usually have fish in our house, I thought it might be good info. I didn’t really think about the fact that he watches Nemo, but some people like to eat him.

I just looked at him. I didn’t have time to process all of this before he said,
.
“You just need to jip it.”
.
Where does he come up with this stuff?!!
