Kids say anything...

Today I had a friend ride with me to lunch. In my passenger seat I had a jacket, some scarves and random things that had collected on the seat. I just put those things behind the seat and didn't think anything of it. This afternoon I picked up the kids as usual. Put Anna in her seat first and walked around to Brady's side to buckle him in. This afternoon the temp dropped about 30 degrees so I'm freezing waiting on Brady to put up his backpack and said "hurry up!" Brady responds with "Mom, all this stuff on the floor is ridiculous!" Astonished me says "WHAT?" He explains "this stuff on the floor, its too much, its ridiculous!" I'm just thinking, did he really use that in a sentence twice?! So I respond "it's ridiculous, huh? what does that mean?" Using lots of hand gestures and his way of telling a story he replies "you know, it's ridiculous mom. we need to clean this up." WOW! he amazes me sometimes with the things he says. my goal is to blog them more often. I have to admit, I know I don't have this exactly word-for-word the way it went down. However, my memory does remember him using the word ridiculous correctly 3 times in 3 different sentences and they were something along the lines of our little conversation above. I think tomorrow I will see how many of my 3rd graders can use the word ridiculous correctly in a sentence.
