Talk to me! "You know what's..."



Backstory

My son starts nearly every topic with "You know what's ______" and thus begins our dialogue. For example:

son: "Mom, you know what's gross?"
me: "French fries and mayonnaise."
son: "That IS gross, but I was thinking about..."

and his story begins.

So, who's got a "You know what's..." Let's talk.

I actually do start conversations with rhetorical questions!

Usually,
You know what's really wierdo bananas?"

ShellDeFelice says,

That is super cute, how old is he? My daughter starts every conversation with : "Look at this "
You know what scares me about this site? When teenagers show up posting things about cutting and death.

NumbrOneAunt says,

the true sense of community.
p.s. try mustard on those fries. (i know it SOUNDS weird, but no "ewww!" until you've tried it! smile)

My favorite? Last night, we're sitting at the dinner table, and he (he's 13) says:
"You know what's awesome?"

And I say, "Me."

And he says -- very earnestly -- "You ARE awesome."

Then, he starts talking about rocks. So I am as awesome as rocks.

NumbrOneAunt says,

in other words, you ROCK! hahahaha! in all sincerity, though, that's a great compliment - i'll bet you're still grinning :)

lillybrook says,

LOL.

Q: So, you know what's really lucky?
A: Winning the lottery.
Statement: That IS really lucky, but let me tell you about all the amazing people I know online and off...

HopeInPain says,

You know what's interesting, how people from all different walks of life can end up in this same forum discussing an unfathomable array of topics in such few words, while still supporting each other.
