Damn That's Cute!

I have always been fascinated with children. Not in that Michael Jackson sort of way.(Man he's never gonna live that down) More in a respectful way. I've always loved their honesty and their imagination. I have a little boy that is about to turn three, and everyday is an adventure. He keeps me laughing all the time. The mind on this child is always working. Example: This morning we were getting ready for work/school. He was watching a cute little cartoon named "Franklin". For those of you without children, Franklin is a little turtle that has a baby bear for a best friend. Every show they have some adventure and learn some lesson. You know, typical kids show. Anyway, this morning they were sad because they let their pumpkin roll down the hill and it busted. So along comes Grandma opossum to make everything alright. We had been naming the animal as they came on the screen. My son knew all the animals except the opossum. He asked me what kind of animal it was and I told him. He looked at me with this innocent little expression and said ,"Daddy has that in his truck." Now, my ex-husband is weird, but I just couldn't imagine a opossum in his truck. I thought maybe he hit one in his truck and this was what my son was referring to. So I decided to investigate.Like a set up for a bad joke I asked,"Daddy has a opossum in his truck?"He said,"Yeah! He plays that opossum music in his truck all the time." Translation-Paul Simon. Out of the mouth of babes.
