Hammy Downs

I think it's funny that the older my kids get, 

the more they share about their little kids days.

Carrie and William often tell me what 

they were thinking about as little kids.

Especially if we start talking about 

something that really confused them. 

Or something that they thought was funny.

Today was one of those days.

Josh, Matthew, and I were reading one of the "Diary of a Wimpy Kid" books, and the main character was talking about "hand-me-down" shoes.

William, who was doing his math next to us on the couch, said, 

"That's funny.  I used to think that they were called "hammy downs."  

I could never figure out what that was supposed to mean." 

Josh said, "That's what I thought it was!  Hammy downs!"

Wow.

It just reminded me that you never really know exactly 

what's going on inside someone's head.

Is this what they were thinking when I said "hand-me-downs?"

Or this?

Sometimes I just sit and laugh and wonder 

what they will take into their adult days with them.
