J: Why is Mom going quick?

Coop: What?

J: Why is she going too quick so she can't eat breakfast?

HA! Love that after I told her I was fasting, she switched the word with a synonym!

M: Why is EVERYTHING made in China?

J: Not everything's made in China M. Our monkey rug in the bathroom is made in India.

M: India IS China.

J: Is India China mom?

Me: No, it's a totally different country.

J: Well why is everything made there?

Me: Because they're communists and they make all their people work for practically nothing so they can sell stuff for really cheap.

J: What's Communists?

Me: It's a different kind of government that doesn't let the people have as much freedom. Like they tell people how to live, what to be when they grow up, how many kids to have and stuff like that and people have to do it.

J: Whao. We aren't like that here.

Me: Nope. Cause America isn't Communist.

J: Where is China mom?

Me: In China. The other side of the world.

J: Oh. I thought it was in Antarctica.

Buddy was just trying to get my attention. I wasn't responding. So he army-crawled over, bit my big toe and then looked up with a look that said, "Ha! Now you're looking. I win!"
