It's true what they say, kids really do say the darndest things!

...The other night, Jackson came running into the living room wearing only his undies (he had just gone potty and I guess was too lazy to put his pants back on:)). Anyway, he playfully jumped into my lap to give me a big hug; in doing so, I noticed that his undies were slightly damp (from pee-pee because he must've held it a little too long, hence, the slight accident in his undies). I asked him, "Jackson, why are your undies wet?" He thought about it for a moment, knowing that mommy gets upset when he holds it too long and leaks into his undies, then with a serious face, he said, "Because it rained on them, mom..."

...We were at Barnes & Noble reading books. I told Jackson to put away the book we had just finished reading and grab a new one. I pointed him in the right direction (which was only about 10 feet away from where we were sitting), and said, "you go get another book, mommy and Jessica will wait right here for you." He gave me a worried look, and said, "no mommy, I be shy over there..."

My friend, Heidi, came to visit with her daughter, Paige, the other day. Heidi is about 9 months pregnant; before they arrived, I was explaining to Jackson that Heidi has a baby in her tummy. I then said, "do you remember when mommy's tummy was big because I had Jessica in there?" With a confused stare, he lifted up the bottom of my shirt and said, "But mom, you still have big tummy.?"...
