My kids are concerned that I have a boyfriend…
True story…
This is an actual conversation that happened tonight between my kids and my husband while I was watching Heroes. A few words may have been changed, but the general idea is still there. I had my husband look over this to verify its authenticity.
Daughter: “Dad, is it alright if mommy has a boyfriend?”
Dad: “Your mommy has a boyfriend?”
Daughter: “Yeah, is that alright?”
Dad: “Um, who is your mommy’s boyfriend?”
Daughter & Son: “We don’t know his name.”
Dad: “Is he on T.V?”
Daughter & Son: “Yeah.”
Dad: “Is he Brad Pitt?”
Daughter & Son: “Yeah!”
Son: “Is he cool?”
Dad: “Yeah, he is cool.”
Son: “Is he cooler than you?”
Dad: “No, I am WAY cooler than Brad Pitt.”
Son: “What makes you cool? Do trophies make you cool?”
Dad: “Yeah, some trophies make you cool.”
Son: “Do sports trophies make you cool?”
Dad: “Yeah, they do.”
Daughter: “Well mom said we could buy trophies at Al’s for $4.”
Dad: “Well you have to EARN your trophy’s to be cool.”
Son: “What makes you cool? Being rich?
Daughter: “Being cute?
Dad: “Yeah, those things can make you cool.”
Daughter: “Does being on T.V. make you cool?”
Dad: “No that doesn’t make you cool.”
Daughter: “Well Hanna Montana and Zack and Cody are cool.”
Dad: “Your mom and dad know lots of people on T.V. Our friend Bryan is a chef on T.V.” And your mom knows Tom and Ryan who are on the radio.”
Daughter and Son: “Yeah, but they are only in Logan, so they are not cool. California people are WAY cooler.”
Dad: “The thing that makes you the most cool is if you do something you like, you are really good at it, and you can make money doing it.”
Son: “Well then dad that makes you cool.”
Dad: “Yes, I like computers, I make alright money… and that makes me WAY cooler than Brad Pitt.”
I guess they then went on to talk about my job and how I love what I do. They were happy that both of their parents are happy with their jobs. I would like to apologize at this time to both Tom and Ryan from KVNU. My kids apparently do not think you are cool since you are on the radio only in Logan. I am sorry.
I love the things kids say.Young Sherlock Holmes release
Stumble it!
That is so cool, thanks for the post Bridge. Am I cool?
brad pitt is so hot in ocean’s eleven. and mr. and mrs. smith. but NOT in kalifornia.
Hey, Tom and Ryan are on in Providence, too. What will the kids think of THAT?
My husband said he would do Brad Pitt, so he MUST be cool-AND hot!
Oh yea, and people from California ARE cool. Your kids must be thinking of us when they said that

no more nude scenes for brad pitt.
it’s a black day, my friends.
Dude. This story so cracks me up.
Any kid that did think Tom and I were cool would need lots and lots of therapy.
Come to think of it any adult that does might need some too…….
Kyle… Cooler than me, but then again… my husband is cooler than Brad Pitt and he is married to me… so I must be cool.
Jess… Brad Pitt… yum.
Craig… I am afraid if you are not on T.V. or radio in California you are considered NOT cool in their book.
Nan… I only know one guy who said he wouldn’t. Happens to be Loralee’s husband.
Jess… again… It is a sad black day. /cries
Loralee… glad it could!
Ryan… I guess I need some therapy!
