James was sitting on the potty tonight before returning to bed. I was in the bathroom with him, and since his eyes had adjusted to the dim light of his room, I only turned on a dim light in the bathroom too.
I was a bit surprised when he told me, "I think I saw that your neck is red."
Hmmm. I didn't think I had gotten any sun recently, so that was a bit strange... I wondered why I would be red, and how could he see that in this light?
Then James said again, "I think your neck is red. That must be why you're a red neck."
WAIT, WHAT?
I really had to bite my tongue from laughing. I asked him, with a befuddled expression on my face, "Where did you hear THAT?"
"Oh, just a friend at school," he replied.
"Which friend?"
"Walker."
Oh, Walker is sooooo busted. ;)
... and so it begins... at the early age of 4. "I heard it from a friend."
Awesome. ;)
James has also started to become aware that what he says can be embarrassing. Nathan or I will sometimes hear him say something funny or strange and then ask him to repeat it. He'll quickly respond with something like, "Oh nevermind. Don't worry about it." This is another reason why I was a bit surprised when he actually told me about the above mentioned "joke" that he had heard.
