Carolann and I were watching TV the other evening when our seven-year-old grandson, Isaiah, asked if he could join us.
It was close to his bedtime and I figured he’d be bored to death by the movie we were watching anyway so his Nana told him yes but said he would have to be quiet so we could hear the movie.
Isaiah’s a great kid, he really is. He’s a little squirmy. He did start making some seven-year-old noises and we had to ask him to pipe down a couple of times. But the movie got his attention when the teenage girl asked the teenage boy if he would like to see her breasts.
“Breasts!” Isaiah said with some amazement. “That’s a woman’s body part, huh?”
Yes, we told him. I don’t know about Carolann but I started to get a little nervous, having no idea where this movie was going. But Isaiah solved the problem for us immediately:
“Should I not watch this?” he asked.
“Yes,” Nana told him. “Don’t watch.”
I told you, he’s a great kid. A good boy.
He turned his face away from the screen and listened to some dialogue that couldn’t have given him a clue as to what was going on. He was perfectly patient for a moment. And then, still not looking at the TV, he asked quite loudly and in a voice I can only describe as enthusiastic curiosity:
“Are they HUGE?”

LOL. Well, were they huge?
Don’t know. She never revealed them. 🙂
that is sooooooooooooooo funny!! Adam always has a book before bedtime and usually his father reads it to him. One night last week he told his dad he needed mommy to come and read also. She came up stairs and he told them he wanted to lay in their bed to read and when everyone was on the bed and ready to read with him in the middle he turned to his mother and said ” Hows this working for you?” Kids are so funny!!
Oh Isaiah, you’ve made my day. Simple as that.
When my son was 4 he rode with me to take his sister to school, when she was dropped off he turned and said “dad, can I have an indian sword”. I replied whats that? he said “you know an indian sword, you wear on your belt,like an indian”. i asked him where did you see that? he looked me right in the eye and said, “At a theater near you” I laughed so hard i had to pull over and stop for a bit.
