This Mom Can’t Help But Share Her Hilarious Bedtime Conversations With Her Son
Kate Bowler is a professor at Duke Divinity School. She has a son named Zach, who is the most exciting 6-year-old in the world thanks to his bedtime-delaying tactics.
For 30 days straight, he tried to keep his mom in the room longer than usual after getting tucked in, but he did it by asking questions. Professor Bowler tweets out the conversations they have, and you need to see it.
There's Something In The House
Parents, what are you doing when your son says this to you? There could be an animal in the house somewhere, or he could be referring to his imaginary pet. Kate didn't want to risk it.
This Was A Journey
Kate's son didn't know where he wanted his sentence to end this time. Then he decided to end it with a statement that would make accordions a terrifying instrument to play.
That's Why You Tweet About Him
We know Kate has no clue how to capture the true essence of her son, but these tweets do a pretty good job. This is a great question he asked.
What TV Shows Does Zach Watch?
It's rare you meet people with one eye. Zach is as curious as the next little boy, or he watches too much Futurama. If the latter is the case, Kate should fix that.
Zach Knows What To Ask
When I was 6, magic was one of the most amazing things ever. I wondered if it was real, too, but never asked anyone. Zach looks like he's ahead of the curve.
He's Smarter Than The Average Bear
Zach knows his mom's weaknesses, and one of them is an incorrect spelling. He used that as a bait to keep his mom in the room a little bit longer, and it worked!
Do You Think Bigfoot Is Real?
Zach thinks Bigfoot is real. At this point, I think he's real, too, because Zach probably knows something I don't know. The way he asks these perplexing questions makes me wonder.
Does Daddy Have A Job?
Zach has the imagination of someone who tried the wrong narcotic for the first time. To believe his dad worked as a ghost pirate is an assumption I've never heard before.
Snuggles Will Defeat The Thunder
There isn't much that can stop a storm, but Zach thinks some good snuggling can. That might work if we all lived in a Disney movie, but that isn't the case.
Mommy And A Snake Get The Same Love
Should a mother feel offended when their young son admits to loving a snake and her the same amount? Well, I hope it isn't identical love, but you never know with Zach.
This Escalated Faster Than Expected
He isn't afraid of the Loch Ness Monster, but Zach draws the line with the Yeti. One is thousands of feet long and the other is probably as tall as Shaquille O'Neal. Also, did she get bitten?
Maybe The Raccoon Is The Pet He Has
Earlier, you saw the pet conversation, so now I can't help but wonder if Zach brought home a raccoon to hide. He says he isn't afraid and that it's safe, so what do you think?
Zach With More Civil War Facts!
Kate is a historian and Zach makes her question her performance. She shouldn't worry because he's still so young, but he asks the best questions a little man can ask.
The Kid Needs To Know About Pumpkins!
I can't say if eating pumpkins is an acquired taste, but Kate could have answered the questions. Maybe he wanted to ask his dad to pick up some pumpkin seeds for him.
Which Legend Is He Talking About Here?
Is Zach talking about the Loch Ness Monster in this conversation? He has an obsession with that mythical beast that may or may not be real, but I'm not judging him.
Give The Boy A Collared Wolf!
These are all valid questions and requests from Zach. Can you imagine a wolf with a collar? That's something I can get behind, as long as it isn't too vicious.
Turned His Mom Into A Hostage
In the blink of an eye, this kid turned his mom into a hostage negotiator after claiming he wanted to trade. This was his plan the whole time and you can't tell me otherwise.
He's Onto Something Here!
I've only ever met one other child with a mind like Zach's. She isn't grown up yet, so I don't know if her curiosity will be a great thing or bad. Let's check in on Zach in 10 years.
Zach Will Get A Squid Tattoo When He Gets Older
The way this kid speaks about squids, you would think he earned a sponsor. I was obsessed with dinosaurs as a youngster, so I can respect his admiration for the sea creatures.
Zach Wants Logical Answers
Knowing Zach (and I know him by this point), he probably wants a logical explanation behind the resurrection. When you're that young, concepts like that aren't too easy to wrap your mind around.
Hey, Let The Kid Live A Little
You shouldn't tell a young kid, "you are getting older." They'll think it's time to crack open a cold one or get behind the steering wheel. Zach's rebuttal to his mom was splendid.
Zach, She Loves Your Dad!
The logic of a child usually isn't the most complex. Zach's parents must have a unique child-rearing strategy for him, or he's the most curious boy in the world all by himself.
Zach Won This Round With No Effort
There wasn't anything Kate could do after hearing Zach say this. As her heart melts, Zach more than likely had the biggest smile on his face as he's tucked away.
Zach Came With The Fire This Night
Telling your mom dinner was bad is the last way you can keep her around when it's time for bed. Also, the flurry of questions technique gave him some time, but it wasn't enough.
Wow, Zach Is On His A Game
There isn't a more perplexing question than the last one Zach asked. "Was God ever born?" is one that sinks in deep and something you have to think about before giving an answer.
Game, Set, Match
That last line Zach had is how you get your parents saying things like, "don't get smart with me, Zach!" Kate had no choice but to ask Dad for help.
Zach Is The Brightest Person In The Family
Okay, he isn't the brightest, but he could be in a few years. The tail won't grow into a lizard the next day, but it's nice to think it will and that he tried to help.
Clearly, Zach Wants To Study Marine Biology
If Zach is right about the Megalodon, then researchers of the sea need to take caution. Whoever dives into the Bacific ocean will have to be on the lookout for the last Megalodon.
Asking If She's Ready For Parenthood...
Wow, we can't believe that was a good enough response for him to accept. I expected him to ask at least one more question before calling it quits, but it looks like Kate won this round.
Where Can We Meet This Bob Character?
Any enemy of Zach's is an enemy of mine. We must protect this child prodigy at all costs and not let him get defeated by anyone in the world, so that includes Bob.
