I’m always amazed at all the stuff Grant comes out with that he’s learned in school. I ask him every day what he did and his answer is “ummm I can’t remember” then in the middle of doing some random task he’ll blurt out some odd trivia. This week, I was surprised when Grant came home and told me about his old classmate who had come back to visit from Egypt. His teacher explained to the class that there was a lot of fighting going on in Egypt and that was why they came home. It feels weird that he’s now becoming aware of current events.
Other things I’ve been informed of over the past school year in passing conversations: Pluto is no longer a planet.. according to Grant it is now a “not planet”. The brontosaurus is not a dinosaur anymore. Indigo is no longer a recognized color of the rainbow (I actually had to look this up).
Henry, as the second born is always letting me know what is going on in his little world so he can get equal face time. This morning I was up early with the boys and he crawled in my lap and was chattering about Lego and then stopped and said “Actually, Mommy I need to tell you sumfeen… it’s actually kinda stinky in there.” As the parent of a child not quite through potty training, I immediately went into questioning “Where? Did you go in your pants? Where is it stinky?” He replied “No, in your mowf”. I’d be kinda fine if kept his opinions to himself in that respect. 
Gotta love ‘em.
