Kids Say the Darnedest Things

Tom was just commenting on how Jack is now so very big and then, gesturing at my iPhone, he said, "And, buddy, you used to be not much bigger than this!"

Without missing a beat, Jack turned to him and said, "Yeah, Daddy. And before that, when I was in Mommy's tummy, I was barely knee high to a germ!"

Barely knee high to a...wha?

Dadgumit, when did he start talking like a hillbilly?

And what the heck made him compare himself to a germ of all things? I guess it's the smallest thing he could imagine. Maybe kindergarten science didn't microorganisms.

That boy is so wacky. And I love it.
