Aidan: Hey Mom? Was everything gray when you were little?
Me: No, dear.
Aidan: Oh, because on tv the old movies are always gray. And the pictures in the albums are gray too.
Me: That’s because they didn’t know how to make color pictures yet.
Aidan: Oh. Well did you hafta have candles and stuff?
Me: No, dear. We had electricity. ((Thank you Mr. Edison. ; ))
Aidan: Oh, Well, were the dinosaurs still alive then?
Me:(hurrumphing) Um, no, dear. They died out just a smidge before Mommy.
Aidan: Oh.
Aidan:Hey, Mom?
Me: Yes, Aidan?
Aidan: Are you losing weight?
Me:(really hurrumping now) Ummm, what makes you ask? (she says with her breath held)
Aidan: I think you are.
Save. ; ) I guess we’ll keep him.

LOL! That last comment would win many cool points with mommy here! ;o) I would keep him…He is priceless!
Great conversation! I love it!
hahaha! this was good! I actually remember my brother asking my mom that same question when he was little, so we still refer to her childhood as “black and white”. I am just waiting for my kids to ask me the same…
Priceless 🙂
