Language Arts

Son #1 wanted to play his Nintendo on the way to the pool today.

Me: You don't have time -- the pool is only two feet from our house.

Son #1: Mama, two feet is still the driveway. I prefer it when you speak more literally.

Later, we went to Target to buy army men and other things for his birthday party goody bags. As we left, it began to pour.

Son #1: Will you go get the car and bring it to me? I don't want my gifts to get soiled.

Twice today I thought: where does he get his command of the English language? People, much less kids, don't speak like this, do they? Third grade must really be paying off.
