And Then Jake Said.....

I had a blog on MySpace that was ruined through a series of unfortunate events. Some of what I wrote were things that Jake has said, hence the title.

So this is a continuation of that.

Jake and I were sitting together the other day sharing space as we sometimes do. That is typically the extent of it. We share space. We watch tv. We read. We eat. Sometimes we play games, throw the ball or walk the neighborhood. Generally, though, we share space.

He is my amazing boy. Truly an amazing human. So happy to share these moments with him.

Yes, I am aware that I don't write in complete sentences. I don't care.

So we were watching something and there was a reference to a virgin.

Jake says, "Momma, what is a virgin?"

I answer him truthfully. That is what I am supposed to do, right?

He looked at me as if something was amiss, so I asked him, "Where did you see that word?"

I knew that he must've seen it and didn't spontaneously generate it.

So he tells me that he saw it on the tv.

Then he says, "Uuuuhhhmmmmm Momma, isn't a virgin a furry animal?"

"No sweetheart."

I am puzzled at this point when Jake interjects to straighten me out.

"Momma, I get it now. I remember what I thought. I was thinking of a vermin not a virgin."

"That totally makes sense now, sweetheart."
