So.....this morning Chase (my 5 year old) said to me:
"Mom, do you know what wafting is?"
"Well, yes, Chase...I think I do...I know I have heard the word before....what does it mean?"
"Well, if there was a smell, you might waft your hand to be able to smell the smell better." (as he proceeds to waft)
waft (wäft, w

I don't know about you people....but I was pretty darn shocked that he knew the word waft and how to use it in a sentence. I'm just sayin'....he might be a genius.

I think he is. I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'. Plus, he is a callaghan. DUH.
Ya think some of that genius could WAFT its way over here in California??? Thanks
Totally genius. He is such a cute funny little bird that Chase. Love him!
I had no clue what it mean- sounded like rafting!
I agree! Genius!
My 10 yo Boy Child knows what it means. Only his is more along the lines of a certain smell wafting from him...
That's hilarious! Kinda like the time when Drew (as a 4-year-old) was watching Ghost with me and upon seeing Whoopi Goldberg's character, says to me, "She's a soothsayer--she can see the future!" Kids are great, aren't they?!
:-)
WOW!
