Dawson's moving funnies

The move to Minnesota has, of course, provided Dawson with ample funny conversations. So, here are a few that I remember from the last couple of days.

1. When we told Dawson we were moving, we just told him that we were moving to MN & never told him the name of the town. So, he overheard Derek & I talking about Bemidji, and he said "Where are we moving? Ve-Vege?" He his still struggling to remember how to say it correctly.

2. While packing up the kitchen, Dawson saw me putting all of our fridge magnets into a box. He asked what I was doing with them & I told him I was packing them for MN. He gave me the strangest look & said "they don't have MAGNETS in Minnesota????!!!!???" So, then he began asking about other items. "Are you taking the fridge to MN? Because I love our fridge. Are we taking the stove...I love our stove too." I told him all of those items were staying because the house there already them. So, now he is really confused...he can't figure out the reasoning as to why some things get to stay & some leave. He asked me "Mom, you aren't taking your dresser hu? Because they already have those in the house." I told him "Actually, we are taking all of our furniture." He just furrowed his brow & walked away.

3. This has to be one my most FAVORITE Dawson stories yet. Dawson was supposedly 'helping' Derek pack something & the two of them were arguing more than anything. I could hear them from the other room. Derek was saying things like "No buddy...put that down please. No, don't spray that...Okay, stop please I don't need that right now....." Dawson was saying things like "DAD...it's okay. I just need to put this right here. DAD, just let me do it. I CAN DO IT DAD!" Then, Dawson comes into the kitchen & says:

I just DO NOT understand my Dad. And my Dad just DOES NOT understand me. So, even if we switch places, we still won't understand each other. How 'bout that?!?
