I wish you could hear the conversations I have with this kid. They are downright hilarious! Vigo is probably the smartest kid I have ever met- not even joking, the kid was beating me at chess at the age of 3. I wish I could take a little peak into his brain to see what is going on in there! He thinks about things and understands things in a way that I don't think many 5 year-olds do. The things he comes up with blow me away, and more often than not, leave me laughing!
Around this time of year, a popular topic of conversation that begins between us is what we should ask Santa for for Christmas. So the other day, Vigo asked me what I was going to ask Santa for.
ME: "I don't know! What do you think I should ask Santa for?"
VIGO: "Hmmm....... I don't know! Let me think about it". (said with his best serious-thinking face).
A few minutes later....
VIGO: "I KNOW!!!!! You should ask Santa for a BABY!!!!"
Yikes- how do I explain to him that I am pretty darn sure that Santa is not in the business of bringing babies to people?!?!
ME: "Well," I reply slowly, "I don't think that Santa can bring me a baby....."
VIGO: "Oh, that's right..... You need a Mommy and a Daddy to have a baby....... Darn it. I KNOW!!! You should ask Santa for a DADDY!!! Or you could ask Santa for a Teddy Bear.....
Out of the mouth of babes- you heard it here first. I think I am going to have to ask Santa for a Daddy for Christmas...... or maybe I will stick with the Teddy Bear...... ;-)
