One Heck of an Antioxidant

My son was sitting on my Mom's lap eating some cherries when she said, "It's good that you like cherries because they're very good for you. If you have bad stuff in your body, they help get that bad stuff out."

My son replied, "You mean, like if I swallowed a gun and then ate a cherry, it would help me poop it out?"

I would say he kind of gets the concept. Kind of.

I Just want to know what food groups are being served in your house. You must have some industrial plumbing set up.

Glad to see that kids are still worrying about swallowing gum. Some things never change.

That is the kind of "big thinking" that'll take him really far in his life.

Dude. He might be on to something. I know a guy who swallowed a gun once. If he would have just ate some cherries... Damn.

That's a bit too much iron in his system. Love cherries though...

Amanda of Shamelessly Sassy said...

haha. I love his theory. In other kid quote news, my daughter called my husband a Douchebag today.

You know, you can't actually know whether this is an exaggeration or not until someone tries it.

If a little boy can some how or any way work POOPING into any conversation- he will, again and again. He was just doing his job. ~Mary

molly said...

Hee Hee. And what was your reply?

turnitupmom said...

Boys are all about poop and farts. At least he knows that guns are bad ;)

Mark said...

Good stuff! Important to loop around and make sure he understands that this does not apply to coins or other non-edible products.

Dapoppins said...

I love cherries.


Poop, not so much. But, your son is right, cherries do make me poop.

hahahahaha

James (SeattleDad) said...

Too funny. Guess you need to take guns off the menu.

Birdie said...

I love it!! *L* Hmmm...I wonder if cherries would work for our economy...

Jaina said...

Kind of. In the loose sense of the word. ;)
