Conversation I just had with L in the car:
L: The blue ‘tuff is hot. Very hot. Never touch the blue ‘tuff.
me: What blue stuff?
L: What? When we go camping. I’m going to bring all my snugglies.
me: OK. What blue stuff?
L: What blue ‘tuff?
me: What you said. The blue stuff is hot. What blue stuff?
L: It’s hot? What blue ‘tuff?
me: The blue stuff you were talking about. The hot blue stuff not to touch.
L: If it’s hot and you touch it you’ll get burned.
me: That’s true. But what’s the blue stuff?
L: What blue ‘tuff?
me: OK, nevermind. Don’t touch hot things.
L: Is the blue ‘tuff hot, Mommy?
Maddening, isn’t it? Abbot and Costello must have had a 4-year-old.

I never touch the blue stuff.
(whatever the eff that might be)
I touch the blue stuff ALL THE TIME and I also run with scissors!
Ah, the blue stuff. I’ll be on the lookout. Hmm? Look out for what? Blue, um, how’s that now? Oh! There’s my coffee!
Thanks for the laugh! Love that. Such a funny kid! My (almost) 3 yr-old has started responding to “why did you” questions with, “That’s why!” So enlightening…
Hahaha.. you are so much more patient than I… I would have been screaming “what blue stuff?” haha.
I would wake up at 3 in the morning thinking:
what the blue stuff is
if it is in our house
and if so where?
and has the dog eaten the blue stuff
and is that why he puked
and I need to get rid of the blue stuff
and who should I call to get rid of it
and how much would it be to do so
and would we have to evacuate our house
while the hazmat team comes in to get rid of the blue stuff and if we should stay at our sisters
but if we do would we expose my nieces to the blue stuff
so we should stay at a hotel
will our house get condemned because of the blue stuff
are we going to be homeless?
omg omg omg omg omg
You got my crying I’m laughing so hard.
Bwahahahahaha -that’s my mind, too!
Alison you are patient. I would have screamed “shut up there’s nothing blue in here”
Ah kids. My niece is 2 and CONSTANTLY repeats “what’s this?”. t’s MADDENING!! Especially when she knows darn good and well what it is!!
LOL there will probably be a news report about the blue stuff : ) I love this post and that you were so patient!

The blue stuff is the bane of my existence… And, for future reference, it only comes out of the cat’s fur with mustard and brown sugar.
Kid conversations can be the best.
