Pride & Joy

After Blaze finished up his bath the other night, I threw him in a towel to dry off with, but not one to wrap up in. He came running out of the bathroom in his birthday suit to grab his clothes to change into and said "Sorry about being naked... but dad didn't give me anything to cover up my pride with". He meant to say "privates", but I think "pride" works just as well.

Fighting Words

On the way home from school yesterday, Blaze told me about some of the other kids in his class giving one of his friends a hard time about being scared to climb the ladder on the slide due to his fear of heights. Blaze said "I told them that- hey, you guys better stop making fun of my friend Chris or I won't ever play with you again". I said "wow Blaze, good job... you really told them!". He sat there for a sec and then said "well, that's what I'm GOING to say if they do it again. I didn't say anything this time... I figure Chris should handle that himself."

Extinct

Blaze and I were in the car the other day and he asked "Dad, you know what pinky rings are, right?" I said "yes...". Blaze replies "It's too bad they're extinct now... or are they just very rare?".
