Sam and I were getting ready to read books before he went to sleep and he pulled out the same book Sam and I had read the night before, and the time before that, and the time before that. (And yes… it was a Star Wars book). I asked if he could pick out something different. He said ok, went to his book shelf, and grabbed two other books – ‘Harry the Dirty Dog’ and ‘My First Day of School’. We had a small talk about his book selection.
Sam: I picked this book because I’ll be going to first grade soon and it will be my first day of school again.
Me: Ok, I don’t think I’ve read that book before.
Sam: How many more first days of school will I have.
Me: Well you’ll have 12 more – 1st grade, 2nd grade, 3rd grade… on to 12th grade.
Sam: Then I’ll go to college?
Me: Yep.
Sam: Then I’ll be all grown up.
Me: [......]
It’s the innocent comments that can sometimes kill you.
