conversations with isaac

for those of you who know isaac well, you know that you don't just converse with him in a simple way. he's got questions & concerns about normal, everyday things...more so than most kids in my opinion. here are a few examples from the last few days.

here is dennis & isaac & dolly g'ma having a conversation about dennis when he was young & fell asleep while eating spaghetti. isaac is soooo intrigued with this story. he asks dennis about it everytime dennis makes spaghetti (which isaac LOVES!) i even overheard him telling his friend michael about the story.
anyway, dennis was telling isaac the story AGAIN & isaac had some questions about it that dennis couldn't answer saying he'd have to talk to his g'ma about it. so one evening he did:

i ~ daddy, tell me again about the time you fell asleep while eating spaghetti

d ~ one day when i was eating spaghetti, i was so tired that i fell asleep right in my spaghetti

i ~ yeah, but when i put my head down [on the counter] only my forehead touches. was only your forehead in the spaghetti?

d ~ we'll have to call g'ma & ask her about it

so one day on the phone she had to explain in detail how it all went down!

then yesterday when we were in the car, we drove past a denny's. this jogged isaac's memory of a month ago when dennis, lauryn, & i went to eat at denny's while he was in preschool.

i ~ is this the denny's you, daddy, & lauryn ate at?

j ~ no, we ate at the one kinda by target

i ~ oh, i don't know where that one is

j ~ you've been there before with us. well, i guess it's not real close to target. actually it's closer to chuck e. cheese

i ~ is it on the same side of the street [as chuch e. cheese} or on the other side of the street?

j ~ mmm...it's across the street

i ~ is it in the same parking lot?

j ~ no, it's in a different parking lot

i ~ mommy is it-

j ~ no isaac! now let's be done talking about it PLEASE!

he cracks us up because he can go on & on & on about things, especially when we're driving. generally the conversations are longer than this but this is what i could remember!
