Tonight Twerp #1 and I were at the park on a "date." On the way home, we had a very interesting conversation...actually, it was mostly him doing the talking. Here is our conversation:
Twerp #1: Mom, did you know that there is a yogurt company that is giving away $5,000? Why would they do that?
Me: I don't know. Maybe it's so they can get more people to buy their yogurt...
Twerp #1: Yeah, maybe. But they're also giving away a 3 night/4 day stay to New York City too. It even comes with a butler! Isn't that cool?
Me: Yeah, do you know what a butler is?
Twerp #1: No. What is a butler?
Me: A butler is a person that you can ask to do things for you...get you things...clean things for you.
Twerp #1: Oh, so they're a slave.
Me: (giggling). No, a slave doesn't get paid. You have to pay a butler to do things for you.
Twerp #1: Ohhhhh...that's why they're giving you $5,000...so you can pay a butler!
Me: (giggling more). Well, it probably comes as part of the prize. You can probably spend the $5,000 on other stuff...not the butler.
Twerp #1: OK. It sure would be nice if we could go and buy some yogurt, mom.
Me: Yeah, that'd be nice.
Can you believe that a 7 year old knows what a butler is, or not in this case...well, now he does. I don't think I knew what a butler was until I saw a bad episode of Matlock. My, how times change.
