Kaden-isms

I plugged in my hot wax machine the other day in the bathroom in order for it to heat up. Kaden came out of the bathroom plugging his nose and of course, overreacting. "Now what?" I ask. Kaden says "It smells DISGUSTING in the bathroom. It smells like those leather strips you put on your head to rip your skin off". So I of course reminded him that it was the third Tuesday of the month=Skin Ripping Day.

I was trying to clean up and felt the need to pull my hair up out of my face. I grabbed a rubber band and while walking pulled my hair back into a pony tail. Kaden shook his head and said "I don't know HOW girls DO THAT!??" I stop for a moment and try and figure out what in the world he's talking about. "Do what?" He replies "How do you just grab all your hairs and pull them in the back of your head where the center is?" And I'm like "Whaaaat?" He says "How do girls know where the center of their head is? How do they know without a mirror where to make a ponytail?" And I ask "You can't find the center of your head without a mirror?" "No" he replies. And I'm about to tell him how ridiculous that is when Bob walks by and says "He's right. We never stop being baffled by that either..." And I'm left standing there feeling embarrassed that I'm proud of the accomplishment.

Yesterday Bob and I were discussing when we were going to get Kaden's braces put on. Kaden shouts "Oh no! Not braces!" and I'm thinking he's scared--which I'm sure is normal because they can hurt. So I prepare for a big Mommy moment and ask him gently why he said that. He says "Mommy, if you get me braces PLEEEASE don't get me magnetic ones--because I might get pulled up into space by a giant magnetar and die!" What can you even say to that? Yeah, I know.
