Mistaken Identity?

Here is a precious conversation I had with Jonathan the other day:
Jonathan: "When I get bigger I want to be a mommy like you!"
(yes...this is one of those oh so precious moments that sustains us for a long time through the not so precious moments)
Me: "Only Girls can be mommies and boys can be daddies. So when you grow up you will be a daddy like dad!"
Jonathan turns to Trent and says excitedly: "I can be a daddy like you when I grow up!"

I was thinking this was the end of this precious conversation until the next day, when things take a little twisty turn:

Jonathan: "When I grow up I want to be a mommy like you!"
Me: "Remember Jonathan...only girls can be mommy's and boys can be daddy's."
Jonathan: "When I grow up, I want to be a girl!"

Uh oh...That conversation didn't go as well as it should have. He proudly tells every person that we run across that when he grows up he wants to be a girl. Needless to say...we get some weird looks.

The other day he said, "When I grow up, I want to be black!"
Not sure where that came from, but this little guy sure keeps me on my toes!
