I am a self proclaimed addict of my ear buds. What I mean by that is, I am addicted to constantly having something playing in my ears via my mp3 player or laptop.  Whether it be music, podcasts, audio books, tv shows online netflix, etc.  I feel it comforts me while I’m cleaning, cooking, grocery shopping etc.  Sometimes, the music stopped or the book ended and I forget I still have my ear buds in.  That is where I will catch myself INNOCENTLY eavesdropping on my kids while they think I’m listening to something. The following was overheard yesterday as we drove to the store.

Daughter (age 10) to Son (age 7) Mama said you have to have your eyes checked too.

Son-No my eyes are just fine

Daughter- You dont know that for sure. That’s why people go to school to become eye doctors you know. So they can make you sure.

Son- Nope I’m sure

Daughter- Well you don’t eat carrots

Son-Because they’ll make you turn orange!

Daughter- Everyone knows that only happens if you eat too many!

Son- Oh…well how do you even know if carrots are even good for your eyes?

Daughter- Duh Gabriel! Have YOU ever seen a rabbit that needs glasses!!

Son- Hmm guess you have a pointer. Ok I’ll eat more carrots… (shakes head) wait… nope can’t do it. I just dont want to turn orange ok!

I am still on the fence of which one of my kids won this debate! lol I gotta love their logic though!!
