I had a good long conversation with Kenji as I was making cookies today. The conversation mostly consisted of me almost lecturing him on how he is not to forget me while I go on my mission. And maybe I even threw in, ever nonchalantly, how he probably shouldn't grow up either.
He didn't say much about it all, until a couple minutes later, and this conversation unfolded:
Kenji: "But Ivy, if I don't grow up, Daddy will spank my bum!"Ivy: *sporadic laughter (of course)* You crack me up, Chenny boy!Kenji: Well, you crack me up! [pause] *giggle* We cracked ourselves up!...two minutes later...Kenji: I don't want to grow up, because I'll die.Ivy: hm...
Maybe you just had to be there. Or maybe you just have to know Kenji. But he really is quite an exception child. And I did love making cookies under his ever watchful eye.
He also gives great compliments.
Such as: "Ivy, you make the BEST cookies and cakes in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD!!!"
Yeah, I can live with that. :)
