Things my kids say con't....

Lately we have been focusing on doing chores with David.  I found a little gumball machine and have been using that as our reward system.  Tonight he earned his gumball right before dinner time and decided to eat before dinner.  I forgot to ask him to spit it out.  Half way through dinner he starts freaking out.  I mean really freaking out "mom, mom its gone, its gone" and the tears are flowing.  I of course have totally forgotten about the gumball at this point and have no clue what he is referring to.  He is finally able to tell me what is gone and is very concern that he will become sick because he swallowed his gum.  I reassure him that he will be fine but its not a good idea to always swallow your gum.  He thinks for a second and asks what happen to it.  I go on to explain that his body wont use the gum so it will come out in his poop in a day or two.  He then proceeds to ask me and I quote " so, will the gum be able to play at the poop circus until it comes out?"  I simply replied "yes".  He accepted it and finished eating.  It took everything I had to excuse myself from the table and to the bathroom before I burst out laughing.  What a kiddo!!!
