The question game with Jack

Jack just came in and sat on my lap and began asking questions...

J: "Are aliens real?"

Me: "No."

J: "Are martians real?"

Me: "No."

J: "Are robot dogs real?"

Me: "Ummm.... I don't think so."

J: "Are buttons to destroy the world real?" (What TV shows is he watching?)

Me: "No. Definitely not."

J: "Whose father will I be?"

Me: "Your child's."

J: "Whose grandfather will I be?"

Me: "When your child has a child, you'll be their grandfather."

J: "Oh, so I'll be a grandfather when my child has a child?"

Me: "That's right."

I guess that satisfied him because then he jumped down and ran off.

Y chromosomes vs X chromosomes

Tonight Sarah had a girls vs boys basketball scrimmage. It made me smile that Jack rooted for the girls' team because, "Sarah's my family!" (Caid's loyalty is with the Y chromosome.)

Conversation overheard:

Parent of boy: "S, get a layup in the next quarter, or you won't get dinner."

Parent of girl: " Yeah, K, get a layup in the next quarter or you won't get dinner either."

K: "But I already ate dinner."

Struck me as hilarious.

Also overheard after a girl fumbled the ball (can you fumble in basketball???): "She had too much lotion on her hands."

In spite of the fact that most of the girls' team has played together for three years and in that team has only lost one game, they were soundly beaten soundly by the boys (I believe the final score was 36-5 but whose keeping track?). However, on the way home Sarah, Gracie, Jack, and I all swore to Caid that the girls won in the last few minutes of the game and how could he have missed those great plays. Drove him nuts and he was thoroughly confused.
