Halloween

Me:  I bought Beckham an outfit to wear for Halloween. 

Curtis:  Huh. When is Halloween this year?

Me:  ........um, same day it is every year. October 31st. How do you not know when Halloween is?

Curtis:  You know I never pay attention to holidays, Lesley! Good grief! I only keep up with Christmas...  And Thanksgiving....  And New Years... And 4th of July...

Me: So you know pretty much every other holiday EXCEPT Halloween? Weren't you a child at some point? 

Curtis:  Well i guess...But that was a long time ago. 

Flu Shot

Me:  The pediatrician says anyone who is around the baby needs a flu shot. 

Curtis (outraged):  I've never gotten a flu shot!

Me:  Me neither but Jacob and I both had to get one. 

Curtis (dead serious):  Well if I get a flu shot I'll die. 

Me:  I'm sorry, what?  You'll die from a flu shot?  I don't think anyone has ever died from a flu shot. 

Curtis:  Well I've always managed not to get one. 

Me:  Like if you had you'd be the first reported death by flu shot? 

You seriously think a flu shot will kill you?  

Curtis:  Yes.

Me:  Seems like a little much, Dad.  I thought I was supposed to be the drama queen...
