Has Your Kid Ever Freaked You Out?!

Tonight after giving the kids a bath I braided my daughter's hair and combed my son's hair. Afterwards we headed to the bathroom so they could look in the mirror.

I held the mirror out for my son and he checked himself out and nodded. I guess that means he liked it. He's a man of few words like his dad. My daughter came in to spin her braids around in the mirror and laugh at herself. When I looked at my son in the hall he was reaching out his hand straight in front of him and with his thumb and pointer finger looked like he was grabbing something. I made the same gesture with curiosity and he put his hand down.

I asked, "what are you doing?"

He said, "trying to grab the blue thing."

I asked "what blue thing?"

He tells me, "the spinning blue thing."

Ahhh what? What the hell is he seeing?

I say, "where is it?"

He says, "right there."

I try again, "what blue thing?"

Again, he tells me, "the spinning thing" but then gets agitated.

I say "what does it look like?"

He says, "like Daniel." (Daniel is a classmate) "Do you know Daniel doesn't listen to his grandma?"

This is something he says all the time so I don't know if he was trying to change to subject or if he got distracted. All I know is I was freaked out!!!!!
