DPS Tester: "You wore a tie just for me?"
Kiddo: "No, I have to manage a game tonight, this is my uniform."
Yes, he put on a tie (and not a polo shirt) for the game on a day when school was cancelled due to ice. This was not because he will have this picture for three years and I cannot force him out of shorts in 40 degree weather normally - just to be clear...
Tall One: "You have your license, you get to drive now!"
Kiddo: "Why would I do that? You drive just fine - I am a good rider."
What child doesn't want to drive once they have their license? Mine, and apparently others from the moms I talked too.
File Under...It is always fun around my house
Big Guy: "This is my favorite ice cream."
Me: "Actually, it's mine - not yours - Pecan Praline. That is why I bought the littlest one and not a big one to share."
Big Guy: (while eating it) "Oh wait, my favorite is butter pecan. This is not that. But this does have pecans."
Me: "Ya think?"
I shall be hiding my ice cream, just in case, maybe under frozen veggies.
Me: "Okay, I don't remember having to look up at you quite so much."
Tall One: "Maybe you are closer to me. Or have smaller shoes. Or you are short. Or you are shrinking. That is it, you are shrinking and I am not."
I am not shrinking, but I think I need heels on my slippers.
Me: "Do not eat that chili in that shirt and tie, you will make a mess and that means more work for me."
1 minute later...
Big Guy: "Why are you striping in the kitchen?"
Kiddo: "Food is down here, why would I waste time going upstairs? I am still in boxers, totally allowed."
I have had to make a 'No Nakedity in the downstairs common area' rule - no, this is not a joke.
Part Two - the party never ends!
Me: "How was your day?"
Kiddo: "It was good."
Me: "Oh so nothing exciting happened?"
Kiddo: "Well I got to cut down the home net with the team because we are the champs. AND IT WAS AWESOME."
Funny how he drew me in with 'it was good' only to end with how awesome it was...oh, and his part of the net is by his piece of the court.
Me: "Ready for your project?"
Tall One: "Don't have to be until after school & we better be."
Me: "Um, and will it be?"
Tall One: "Friend gave a great speech to motivate us. Shawn White practiced for 4 years and failed. We have only worked for 2 weeks, so if you think about it, even if we fail, we win."
Me: "That is not good logic."
Tall One: "Works for us!"
Teenage boys have such a way with words...oh, and I have no doubt they will pull it out and get an A, they always do somehow!
