Today, Lincoln and I were checking out at Sam's and bumped into his buddy from preschool, Alex, and Alex's mom who is a friend of mine. As we were saying goodbye, Lincoln wondered (aloud, of course) "when are we going to play with Alex and his hot mom?" Yea. That's right. Nice, huh? Of course all day long I've wondered where the hell that comment came from and it just occurred to me, I was being a little spacey in line and I think I made a comment that Ellen's stunning beauty flummoxed me. (Granted, this may sound like an odd comment, but Ellen is great fun and we joke around a lot, so it's not like I was hitting on her!) Now that I think about it, that *has* to be where he got it because how else would he have put hot mom together? I ASSURE you, we don't regularly talk about people's hotness.
Then on the way home from Sam's, Lincoln and I got to talking about when he was in daycare a hundred years ago (or was it 3?). I was surprised when he said "Yea and I used to bite people, right?" I had forgotten about that, but yes, he did have an issue with biting for awhile. I said "That's right, I nearly forgot that you had several biting incidents. I can't believe you remember that." And he replied "I know, I just though their skin tasted so good!" (emphasis is his)
Not to leave out Malcolm, tonight on the way home, Malcolm declared with a sigh "Mom, do you think I'll ever find a wife?" For the second time today I wondered if my hearing was going. "What on earth makes you ask that?" I said. "Well, I just don't know any girls who like me except for Emma." So we had a conversation about how it could be that girls still think boys are yucky (as he thinks most girls are). Or, it could be that girls are pretty secretive when it comes to liking boys. But I assured him that he had plenty of time since I didn't even meet daddy till I was 20 years old. I know, ancient, right?
