During breakfast today I was telling Jason that I wanted to go on a date. We haven't had a date together since the middle of October. Not only do I want to spend quality time with Jason that doesn't involve sitting in front of the tv when we are both too tired to do anything else, but I'd like to have a conversation or just peace and quiet that doens't involve a discussion like the following:
Sam: Duck-orse! Duck-orse!
Me: Dinosaur? You want a dinosaur vitamin?
Jason: No, he means Duck-horse.
Sam: Duck-orse, duck-orse!
I'm usually right when it comes to translating Sam's talking, however in this case, I think Jason was correct. You may be wondering why Sam is saying Duck-horse. We have this barn toy that is magnetized so it sticks to the fridge and there are a bunch of farm animals, each in two pieces, with a separate piece for their front and back. The kids are supposed to try to match up the animals in the barn (one at a time), then the toy sings, "You made a match, look what you've done, you made a match, make a horse sound!" (or fill in whatever animal the child matched up). But if the child matches up a front of a duck with the back of the horse, the toy says, "A duck-horse, that's silly!" Sam was playing with the farm toy while our muffins for breakfast were baking.
It's not that I don't like such topics of discussion, I would just like some one-on-one adult conversation with Jason that doesn't involve such discussions. That's all. Some variety.
Addendum: (1:13 PM) This is a sampling of our lunch conversation:
Sam: cracker!
Me: cracker, please?
Sam: cracker, please
Sam: (takes cracker and smashes it on his head, in his hair. pieces of it crumble down his shirt and onto the counter)
Me: Sam, No! Don't smash the cracker!
