Jackson and I had just left the store, and walked to the van in the rain. The puddles made sure my sandals were a wet, sloppy mess in the short walk we took. We got in the van.
Me: Whoa! My shoes are WET! I'm going to take them off!
Jackson: Why you take your shoes (heard: suess) off, Mommy?
M: Because my feet are wet and they'll slide around in my shoes while I drive if I don't.
J: Oh. What shoes are, Mommy?
M: Jackson, you know what shoes are, they're what we wear on our feet to keep them safe.
J: Oh. What safe mean, Mommy?
M: Safe means that nothing bad can happen. If you wear your shoes, it keeps your feet safe so nothing bad happens to them.
J: {beat} ...
I have all dese colors in my hands. I color wif dem. I color lots of colors wif dem. And I color wif my FEET! Silly Jackson.
