Where Is He Getting His Information?

Youngest Hooligan:  Mom…

Me:  Yes.

Youngest Hooligan:  (In his most serious, question asking voice)  When a girl dumps you, does that mean she comes to your house with her garbage can and recycling bin and dumps it on your head?

Me:  (Laughing and snorting)  No!  Not at all!  Really, no.

Actually I didn’t have the heart to tell him, that YES, it is entirely possible, depending on the reasons she is dumping you!  Ha!

You just have to love the innocence.

  1. Ohhhh, I just want to pinch his cheek and cry. If only that were as bad a thing a girl could do to his heart…dump real garbage you can clean off.

    It was not until I had sons that I realized how unkind I probably was to some young men, and how very hurtful that can be. I wish as a Mom I could have protected my sons from all that..and your little Hooligan’s question reminds me that all of us are really children in our hearts, and so want to be loved and NOT have garbage dumped on us or in our homes. Pinch his cheek for me if you get the chance.

  2. How priceless is that Cathy!! What innocence! Yesterday, my younger one came & asked me how much an AK-47 would weigh? Would it weigh as much as the sack of rice I helped Papa carry in? Broke my heart. This past week of terror in Mumbai has thrown up so many questions…what’s difficult about peace?
    O yes, pinch his cheek from me too…what a sweetheart!

  7. Kids are just so precious and the things they come up with! My advice to you Cathy is write these things down, because when you get older you will not remember the cute things they said.

  10. Awesome! Have you seen the children’s books about a kid who hears things and thinks they’re going to happen to him, like when someone says, “You crack me up”, he thinks he’s going to crack, or “she screamed her lungs out” and he thinks the lungs are actually going to come out? Etc. One is called More Parts. Great books. This reminded me of that.

  15. Your young hooligan IS adorable and the most innocent looking child I have ever seen. His personality seems to follow suit too. I suppose that is why you have to be so careful in your explanations of certain things to him. If he is able to turn that vulnerability into intelligence, you are going to have one smart grown up hooligan!

  22. He is so adorable. Love that question! When my son 8 yrs old, he asked: How does if fell to fall in love? He said that his heart was always beating so fast every time he talked to this girl. We thought it was the cutest ever!

    Now, my nephew (he is only 7yrs old) said that he has a girlfriend, but he need to break up with her soon, because she is too demanding. Yes, he said “demanding”, where was that come from?

  42. It’s good you have your blog to record life from the hooligans’ point of view! We tend to forget so much of these precious things they say as time goes on. He is such a cutie!
