Isaacisms

One of the things I love about Isaac is his inquisitive nature. Additionally, he is fine-tuning his reasoning skills, with often hillarious results. The following are a couple of my favorite "Isaacisms" from the past two days:

1-Isaac and I were talking about where meat comes from and why it is important to not waste or eat excessive amounts of meat. Isaac thought for a minute and responded, "God must have made the plant-eating dinosaurs before the meat-eaters. Otherwise, they wouldn't have anything to eat."

2-Isaac and I were going through baby pics this evening. An hour later he came to me and said, "Mom, I wish some babies would stay little forever, like Ashton was." (I had to smile in agreement)
Me: "Would you like another baby sister or brother?"
Isaac: "Yeah."
Me: "But that means Mommy and Daddy would be very busy taking care of the baby. Babies are lots of work. Would that be OK?"
Isaac: "Yeah . . . Maybe we should get a dog. Are dogs lots of work?"
Me: "Yes Isaac, but not as much as babies. Would you rather have a dog or a baby?"
Isaac: "Both are good."

3-Aukai was teaching Isaac about liquid vs. solid states, using mostly edible liquids as examples. As a result, Isaac started to associate liquid with edible. A few minutes later I was with Isaac in the bathroom. He asked, "Mom, is pee a poisonous liquid?"
I started to get into nitrogenous waste and then, realizing that this was way over his head truncated my answer to "Yes, Isaac." (This is the problem with having a medical student Mom.) He then asked, "Mom does all poop come from bums?"
Me: "Yes, Isaac."
Isaac: "Oh, well then you don't want to eat poop, because you don't know what bum it came from . . . fox bums, doggy bums."
Me: "I can think of a couple other reasons you wouldn't want to eat poop."

Needless to say, Isaac is keeping us on our toes, and we love him for it.

Addendum: In regards to scenario #2, it has come to the author's attention that the anecdote might be misconstrued to mean that the author is currently gestating (pregnant). It must be noted that although the author may be "baby hungry" given her current state of affairs (completing her OB/GYN rotation and in contact with more than 8 friends currently gestating or in possession of a neonate), she has positively no intention of becoming "with child" any point in the near future and relieves herself of all responsibility for rumors, hopes or disapproval based on any misinterpretation of said scenario. I am NOT pregnant.

Happy Halloween!

Luckily, I finished my shelf exam for Peds Halloween morning, which meant I had the rest of the day to spend with the fam.

Aukai and I dressed up as "fire and ice."

Ashton didn't like his original costume, so we had a last minute change to Jack Frost. We made a sparkly wand that he swung around while saying "trick or treat." Everyone loved his hair.
