Kids say the darndest things

Bryson said something tonight that reminded me I better do a brain dump before too much time elapsed and I lose some of the detail.

Some time in October or November, the kids had some homework regarding 'opposites'.  We asked the kids for a word that came to mind in regards to the opposite of 'now'.  Addison responded, "not now!" with a lot of mischievous giggling.  Then someone came to my mind quickly, my mother.  :-)

Meanwhile Bryson has said a couple of things to where I had to stick my tongue in my cheek to keep from laughing.  We had a relatively early hard cold front hit in the first half of November.  I told Bryson it was going to be a low of 15 degrees and he asked "Does that mean it is the first day of Christmas?"

Yesterday, an orangeblood.com member notified us he'd uploaded his edited version of the 1969 UT@Arkansas game of the century.  He removed most of the first half of no scoring. I started watching and Bryson walked in later with alot of questions.  It was the first time he'd been introduced to our old SWC friends, the Arkansas Razorbacks and I think he's still trying to figure out how far back 1969 is. Tonight over dinner, Bryson was a little confused about why Texas didn't play yesterday.  I gave it my best shot at explaining the fact that they have a 'bowl' game and you have to win 6 games and get invited.  No more questions.  After he finished his shower, he came into my study as I'm sitting here and asked if I could lay with him tonight.  I asked him if he wanted to finish watching Texas play Arkansas.  Without hesitation he hopped into my lap and we started with 4th down and 2 with 2+ minutes left down 14-8.  At the very end, President Nixon is in the dressing room and presents a plaque for being number 1.  Bryson said, "I bet he invited them to the bowling party, didn't he?"
