Quotable Kids.

The new shoes the boys got the other day have prompted quite a bit of discussion. Brendan was putting on his new shoes gunboats aircraft carriers this morning (a pair of athletic-type shoes in a size 13) and we joked about how they could serve a small child as a life boat. I should add that because these new shoes aren't all broken down destroyed, they make him taller than me. (umm, i'm pretty tall)

Brendan: Mom, I noticed at the store there were no size 14's.
Me: Yeah, I think (store name) really only carries up to a 13.
Brendan: (slightly worried look on face)
Me: Don't freak out about it-they make shoes in a 14 and larger, we'll just have to go to the Nike store or the New Balance store to get them. Think about how big some of those basketball players are--they make shoes much larger than 14.
Brendan: I was worried I'd have to learn how to make shoes.
(he was serious, people.)
Me: Naw, you don't have to add "cobbler" to your college entrance forms.
