The phone rang and it was yet another non-profit group, "We have a truck in your area on next Wednesday and were wondering if you'd donate a few things...." Somehow I've gotten on the list of every single cause with a truck collecting "unwanted items".
When the phone rings in our house, everyone wants to know who it was that called. I mumbled a response to my daughter with the name of this particular charity. Wm caught on, "WHO was it??" I repeated what I said before, adding that he didn't know them. "But who are they?" he asked again. Repeat this sentence at least three times.
Finally, I said that it was an organization collecting items for the mentally handicapped. Totally innocently (or so I hope), he responded, "Do you mean like you??"

LoL! I remember when my oldest son was little, he asked me why the ear drops I put in my ear didn't drip out the other side! I know I may not act like it, but I do have a brain in there!
