The name of one of the country stations my family sometimes listens to is called Kicker 108. The slogan for the station goes something like this:
“Today’s best country, Kicker 108.”
My son, indignantly states that he doesn’t like Kicker 108. “Ugh. Mom. I can’t stand Kicker 108.”
“Why is that Landon?” I ask confused. I really didn’t expect this kind of preference until he was a teenager, at least.
“Because they say they are the best country but really, they can’t be the best country. America is the best country Mom. Right?”
Oy. What a strong sense on nationalism my seven year old has.

On the way home from school Landon asks, “Mom, what is an object?”
“Ummm…it’s pretty much the same word as thing. Where did you see it?”
“Your mirror says objects in mirror are closer than they appear.”
“Oh. Well, things are objects. Trees. Mailboxes. Things like that.”
“Oh. Okay. Thanks.”
Three days later…
“Object. Object,” says Landon.
“A mailbox is an object.”
“A tree is an object.”
“A car is an object.”
“A cake is NOT an object.”
“Uh,” interrupts Mom. “Yes, a cake is an object, Landon.”
“But Mom, you can’t see a cake in the mirror of your car.”

“Dune Face Head,” says Landon.
“Uh. What?” asks Dad.
Landon looks sheepish. Then he gets a huge smile on his face…
“I know what a dune is! It’s a big pile of sand.”
“Yes,” says his confused parents. “But where did ‘Dune Face Head’ come from?”
“Uh….”
Shiloh pops in,”Oh. That was Landon just being random.”
“Yep,” Landon agrees. “I was really being random!”
I really have no idea sometimes where this kid comes from.
But he amuses me. I think I’ll keep him

Cake is one of my favorite objects. Glad you set him straight on that one. What a funny boy.
