Things that kids say!

Last week, on the first day of Fall break, I took my 6 year old son Xander back to the doctor to get his lungs checked and to be sure everything else was okay. I can tell that he was feeling better for this visit because he actually had time to flirt with the nurse while she was checking his weight and height.

The doctor comes into the room and starts talking to Xander, asking him a few questions. The doc. then proceeds to listen to his heart and lungs. When he starts to try and check Xander's blood pressure Xander speaks up and says, "Whoa, you have to be careful with that arm, it's important and expensive!"

The doc. looks over at me with a grin and I give him the all too familiar "I don't know" shrug. The doctor then asks Xander why is it so important and expensive. Xander pipes up with "because it's the hand that I write with and I can't afford to lose it!"

At this point me and the doctor both are just howling with laughter. Xander just laughs along with us then asks why were we laughing at him. We then had to explain that we weren't laughing at him but laughing at what he said. It took him a little while to understand even after making it out to the vehicle and on our way home. When he finally got it, he thought it was funny too.
