"Because I love you"

NJ had the treat of eggs and bacon for breakfast. Haven't made anything for breakfast for a long time. Later in the morning he begged for the jello he helped me make yesterday. He proudly showed us his blue tongue and blue teeth. He had a lot to say today...

During breakfast he said, "Mama, sit next to me." When I asked him why he said, "Because I love you." Awww! How could I refuse? 

After lunch NJ asked, "Why the other day Ah-gim said she's going to beat me?"

I had to figure out what he was talking about. I realized that he was talking about the soup that she made for us. Baba laughed and said, "Auntie was saying that she was going to finish before you, not beat you!" 

I'm sure it's because he doesn't understand the word beat and not because he actually thought his auntie was going to beat him.

Baba had to go out and NJ asks, "Where's Baba going? 

M- "He's going to the bank."

NJ- "Why Baba needs to go to the bank?"

M- "Because we have to pay for our place."

NJ- "Why we have to pay for the house?" 

Before I could say anything he continued, "Or we have to live in a garage or sleep in a car?"

M- "Well, not everyone is as blessed as we are to have a home to sleep in."

NJ- "Like some people don't have parents?"

M- "Yes, not everyone has parents. Aren't you blessed to have a Mama and Baba? And we are very blessed to have you."

NJ- "Yes!"
