During story time before bed, one of the books made me tear up ...
N: [in the sweetest little voice] Don't worry Mom, I can wipe away your tears.
Me: Aww! You're so sweet!
N: [muttering under his breath] Yeah ... I feel like the parent now.
Because we love watching 'Inside Out'...
N: I'm Sadness. Pull me!
My kiddo is up on all of the lingo ...
Me: You are using excellent manners today!

Me: Do you feel better?

The backhanded compliment ...
N: Mom, are you old?
Me: Umm...not too old. I'm 31.
N: Well, your face is still smooth and [with a scrutinizing look] you still have all your teeth. It's not that bad yet.
The unintentional non-sequitur...
Me: I'm kind of ashamed to admit that I have a Justin Bieber song stuck in my head.
N: I know a song about beavers! [continues to sing about beavers for ten minutes]
