Conversations with Kids, especially Craig

I have to post this while it is still fresh in my memory:

Mom: "Look how pretty the color of the mountains are..." as we were driving home from the library.

Craig: "Boys don't think anything is 'pretty' "

Kylee: "Except for girls"

Craig; "Yeah"

Mom to Craig: "What girls do you think are pretty?"

Craig: "A****" (a little girl I'll remain nameless..her mom knows who she is ;) )

Kylee: "No, he think's she's 'hot' "

Mom: "How do you define 'hot'?"

Craig: "When she's cute and you love her and she loves me"

Mom: "How do you choose one girl? When A****, M******, and S******* all love you?"

Kylee: "Because A**** is the 'hottest'"

Craig: "No, because A**** is crazy like me'!"

Mom: "So, because of her personality?"

Craig: "And she's 'hot'"

The conversation went on a little further, but just reminded me that my little boy is growing up way too fast! I don't know how I feel about him calling someone "hot". We'll have to have a little chat about that (he's only 7!) and how he can't fall in love until he's 21! Although he is so sweet, and it is innocent, I better watch out!
