Amazing Brian

Brian is a very bright kid, not the best at listening or following directions (but then again, what man is?? HA), but just super smart.  The other day I had the kids in the car and was heading down to my parent's house for a visit.  While we were driving Brian was telling me something and then in a very cute way he said, "Mom I'm smarter than you."  I said, "Oh really?"  Then he said, "Oh yes, let's have a contest.  See if you can tell me what distracted is.  So, what does distracted mean?"  After laughing to myself I said, "Well, if you're so smart why don't you tell me what it means."  Brian said, "Oh you know, when you're upset about something."  Maybe he was thinking of "disturbed"??  I told him what it meant and we went along on our merry way.  The sad part?  About 5 minutes later I was trying to remember exactly what was said so that I could tell my parents about it, and I couldn't remember the word Brian wanted me to define!  I had to ask my four year old son what it was....and of course, he knew.
