Flirty Momma

From a real conversation with Spencer this afternoon:

Spencer: Mommy, is it your birthday?

Me: Nope. In a couple of weeks. (On December 4th, actually.)

Spencer: What number is your body?

Me (thinking I'm quite clever): Daddy says I'm a ten.

Spencer: What?

Me: Do you mean how old am I?

Spencer: Yes.

Me: I'm twenty-nine.

Spencer: No! You're flirty.

Me: What? Flirty?

Spencer (exasperated, talking as if I'm a bit dim): Yes! You will be flirty on your birthday!

Me (thinking I'm still quite clever): I don't have to be flirty. I already got your dad to marry me.

Spencer: Silence.

Me (trying to recover as if it really mattered that a three year old didn't get the joke): I am not thirty yet. I am 29. But...

Spencer: No! On your birthday you will be flirty.

Me: Fine. On my birthday I will be flirty. Watch out, boys, here I come!

Spencer: What? Watch out what?

Me: Nevermind. Is flirty old?

Spencer: No...... But yes.
