So, Kellen came running in the living room tonight, animated, bursting to tell us about something … something obviously very “cool”, something obviously worth sharing ---
Kellen: Mom, Dad, listen to this, listen to how cool this is! {eyes glittery, big smiling face, clearly very excited}
Kristie: Ok, what?
Kellen: I just went in your bathroom ….
Kristie: Uh-huh ….
Kellen: And got on your bathroom scale ….
Kristie: Yes, I see …. {thinking to myself, woo-boy, this is fascinating stuff indeed}
Kellen: And I weighed 70.0 pounds!
Kristie: Wow, 70 pounds, that’s a lot {*that* is what this kid is excited about??? That he finally hit 70 pounds? Sheesh, he’s sure easily entertained}
Kellen: 70 pounds, Dad, did you hear that?!
Blaine: Um, yeah. 70 pounds. That’s a lot, huh?
Kellen: But this is the cool part --- are you listening? THEN, I pooped, then I weighed myself again, and I only weighed 69.5 pounds!!!! That means I was half a pound less!
Total silence.
Kristie: Wow, that’s um. Hmmmm. I don’t even know what to say to that. I guess, um….. good job?
Blaine: For what? His math skills, or the other?
So, in a nutshell, now you understand why Dancing With the Stars is the cultural highlight of our week, don’t you?

'OLIVE JUICE'
I just have to know - did Blaine make his comment with a straight face? Because it sure cracked ME up (math skills...hehehehehe)!
That is priceless! lol!
That is too funny!!!! He can do math, and what a boy way to do it.
Hysterical! Gotta love that!
You know, maybe you should submit that as a math lesson plan to his teacher. You might want to wait until right before you leave town, though. Kellen and my son would get along just fine...
LOL Kellen.... you should meet my nephew Mikie. You'd two would probably be grand friends.
My husband does this and then feels the need to share this info with me.
On the plus side, my husband is brilliant, so maybe this is just a sign of super high intelligence? Yep, Kellen is a child prodigy.
Dear Kristie,
That sure must have been one huge pooh for such a small body!!
Blaine is funny!! I hope he is ok?
How nice that he started cleaning up when somebody ws going to vistit the house! He sounds such a nice helpful person!
Take care,
Love Angela
