I wish all our conversations went like this.
Me: "Won't it be fun to see Uncle Scott and Aunt Jenn this weekend? Aunt Jenn loves kids, I think it's going to be fun."
Madison: "I think Uncle Scott likes kids too....well actually he's like a little kid. Did you know girls are more mature than boys. Just like you and Daddy."
Me; "Well that's definitely true."
Madison: "I think that's why Uncle Scott and Daddy like each other so much. They're both like kids. And they're both funny. It's like a funny explosion when they get together. Like Funny Robots."
Me: "Right. They're exactly like funny robots. Who like to fart sometimes."
Madison: "I forgot about the farting. You are so right."
Ah, the Funny Robot Explosion. I know it all too well.

I think that is the most perfect conversation of all time.

Yet the number of us who married farting robots is oddly high. Who knew, then, that at the alter we were agreeing to this. Sometimes women probably want a Do-Over.

Better a funny explosion with some farts than a fart explosion with some funny. I'm just saying.

So there's a high level of maturity at your family get togethers too. Somehow I would've thought a metro-sexual robot would be against farting - but I forget deep down they're all 4-year old boys in bigger bodies.

Madison is already brilliant. Amazing.

Funny and farts are often inextricable, I'm afraid. Part of the Male Experience.
Besides, if the farts are forgettable, they can't be that bad.

Very Sweet. When she gets around 13 your conversations will sound like this: Your father just pisses me off! Daughter: Boys are stupid. You might as well learn that now. Daughter: I know mom.

Your daughter understands men better than I do.

This conversation is PERFECTION! Thanks so much for sharing it with us!
(By the way -- you are in major trouble with her -- watch yer back -- she's a sharp cookie!)

Hell, I'm 26, and I wish I could have conversations like that with my mother NOW.
