Conversations With 8 Year Olds

Jay had pulled up his shirt, and was looking down at his stomach.


Dad: What are you doing, Jay?

J: I'm just wondering how many packs of ribs I've got.

Mom: What do you mean?

J: I don't know. They were talking about packs of ribs at school today.

Mom: Babe, are you talking about a 6 pack? Those are your ab muscles. Come here and let's see if you have any on your tummy.

He pulled up his shirt so we could check out his abs...


Mom: One, two, three, four...

J: What? I have 4 packs of ribs! Woo hoo!


He then hopped down from the couch and went about his business.

Mom: Abs. Not ribs.

J: Yeah, okay.
