…about the rusty water from the toilet pipe. Straight from a 5 year old’s mind and heart to his lips. Just keeping it real, the good, the bad, and the ugly. Sometimes you get the sweet like HERE and then you get the…
Gavin: “Daddy!!”
Me: “What Gavin?”
Gavin: “There’s brown water behind the toilet!”
Me: “I know, I’ve got to clean it up and see where it is coming from, I think a pipe is rusted or something.”
Gavin: “Well I think I may know what it is!”
Me: “What do you think it is?”
Gavin: “Well, sometimes, the poopy logs are bigger than the pipe hole, so that could be what is causing it to leak out the brown water!”
Me: (Trying my best to hold back laughter) “Oh! Did you tell your mom your idea about what could be causing the brown water on the floor?” “Give me five for being so smart and go tell her!”
This is the first time I have ever posted “Conversations with a 5 Year Old” so close together, but when Gavin and I had this conversation I could not resist in sharing.

SOLID!!! Love the explanation on where brown water came from.
The thing that made me double over with laughter was the line “You got pretzels from Bob!!!” I’ll explain on 5th Street later this week.
BA
this is CLASSIC!!!
My husband and I have a terrible habit of saying DAAAAAANNNG!
The other day when my husband said it, my son turns to me with his hand over his mouth and says “Oooooohhhh, mommy daddy say daaaaaaannnng!
It was hilarious
That is a classic. Kids are just naturally funny.
As far as funny things recently go, I have a friend at work whose parents are jewelers. This weekend they participated in a jewelry show in Tunica. This guy, who looked like he could play a role in Pulp Fiction, asks, “How much for them earrings?” His dad replies, “$1300.00.” He asked, “What if you just buy one?” His dad says,”Well, they’re still 1300 but you get the other one free.” He bought them.
@5th – I look forward to reading your story!
@Kelli – We get caught that way all the time 🙂
@Tommy – That is hilarious!
My mom told me that my sister was watching tv with her boyfriend, and a commercial came on for the evening news at 10. The commercial said, “Our top story tonight at 10, a tornado…” Then my sister turns and says how do they know a tornado is coming at 10?:)
great story Nick those stories are what make up a special family time
that’s our grandson, and we sure love him. He is a smart boy! Made me think of the old Art Linkletter show that kids used to be the focus of. “Kids say the darndest things.”
I love kids for saying things like this!
