A conversation with Ethan

My husband is a fan of the reality television show Miami Ink. I've never seen the show, but I believe it is basically a "life in a tattoo studio" show. Whatever my husband like, Ethan loves. If Adam thinks the show is good, then Ethan thinks it is Emmy Award quality. Whatever. Right?

Last night they were watching an episode, and the scened centered on a woman that was getting a tattoo. The following conversation traspired:

Ethan: Daddy, you want to get a new wife like that?

Adam: You can't just trade-in a wife. Once you're married to someone you have to stick wtih them.

Ethan: Do you think Momma would be mad at you if you got a new wife that looked like that?

Adam: She would be REAL mad.

Now, I don't know where this conversation came from, but here's my guess. My husband has several tattoos. I have none. I don't want any. Whenever we ride by a tattoo studio Adam always asks, "You want a tattoo? I'll pay for it. C'mon. Right now. Let's go."

I guess Ethan really listens to eveyrthing we say.

at 5:25 PM melissa said...: You'll say something and then three weeks later, out of the blue, a small child will ask you about it. My brother did it to my mom ALL THE TIME. I'm sure my nephew's not long off from doing the same! :D So cute.

at 9:53 AM Gary said...: Down here in Texas there are places that will give a woman a free tattoo if she comes in with her husband or boyfriend who gets one for himself.
