The truth shall set you free...or make you laugh...

Mom: Uumm Brady...Jen told me that she found out you were trying to teach Taylor how to shoot the finger to say the 'F' word.  Is that true?

* Brady looking at Mom with a blank face & no response *

Mom: Tell the truth Brady, I want you to tell me why you did that & what you were thinking.  No lies.

Brady: I did try to teach that to Taylor.

Mom: Why?

Brady: I don't know.

Mom: That's not an answer.  I want the real answer.  Why did you do that?

Brady: Because.

Mom: What were you thinking?

Brady: I was thinking that I wouldn't get caught & have to tell you about it.

* Mom trying desperately not to laugh at Brady's honesty *

Mom: Uumm, thank you for telling me the truth, but NO MORE teaching bad words to other kids!

Brady: Are you gonna tell my Dad I did a swear word with my finger?

Mom: I do have to tell Daddy.

Brady: Don't forget to tell him that I told the truth though?

Mom: Okay.

Swimming Lessons Are For Wimps!

Mom: Wow Brady, you're really a good swimmer now!!!

Brady: I know Mom!  Watch this...

* holds breath & swims underwater towards me *

Mom: WOW!!!  I'm so impressed with what a great swimmer you are now!  You're doing so well honey!

Brady: Thanks Mom!

Mom: How do you think you became such a great swimmer?

Brady: Because I hit triangle triangle, circle circle, square square, ex ex.

Mom: You hit what?  What does that mean?

Brady: When I play the game "God of Wars" on Playstation, I make the guy go underwater by hitting triangle triangle, circle circle, square square, ex ex.  That's how I learned how to swim.

Mom: Um, don't you think that swimming lessons has helped?

Brady: No no, I definitely learned how to swim from Playstation; swimming lessons are for wimps!

I sooooo don't get it...

Brady: Mom, wanna hear a joke?

Mom: Sure.

Brady: How do you make 2 adults laugh?

Mom: How?

Brady: Give them a ride on 2 dinosaurs!!!  * laughing hysterically *

Mom: Uumm Brady, I don't think that's really all that funny.  Do you know what a joke is?

Brady: Yeah.

Mom: A joke is supposed to make people laugh.

Brady: I'm a people & I laughed, so it's a joke.

Mom: Yeah, but it doesn't make sense buddy, so it's really not that funny.

Brady: It makes sense.  Adults riding on dinosaurs.  That's funny Mom.

Mom: Okay, if you say so.

Brady: Dinosaurs are huge, people are small & dinosaurs are all dead now, don't you get it Mom?

Mom: Not really bud.  * laughing *

Brady: Do you get it now, because now you're laughing?  Maybe you don't get it because you're old.

Mom: Yeah, okay.  I get it.

Brady: Did you know that they had to make heaven huge to fit the dead dinosaurs?

Mom: No, I didn't know that Brady, but that makes sense.

Brady: See Mom, you learned some stuff today!

Mom: Yes.  Yes, I did.
