Backfire...11/29/11

Cael was getting ready for school this morning while I fixed my hair...


Cael: (putting on his red uniform shirt) Mom, why don't I have a white shirt?
Me: We don't buy the white uniform shirts because they get dirty so quickly.  
Cael: I really want a white one...
Me: Sorry big guy, we don't have any.
Cael: Well, Steven gets to wear white shirts...
Me: Is your name Steven?
Cael: Well, I wanted to name me Steven but you decided on Cael...


I had to laugh.  I'm pretty sure he still wants the white shirt and that Steven will be his example when we have this conversation again...

Nice Try...11/14/11

We were sitting down for dinner last night when Jarod and Cael had this conversation...


Cael: (looking at Jarod's glass)  Dad, I have water...is that Sprite?
Jarod: (trying to answer the question without confirming or lying)  It's clear just like your water.  Why would you say it's Sprite?
Cael: Well, water doesn't have bubbles and yours does.  It's Sprite...nice try.


Busted!  Jarod just looked at me with his "this is your child" expression...at least he's observant!  

Cheesy Jokes 101...11/13/11

Cael was on the phone with my dad last night talking about Spiderman when he thought of a joke...


Cael: Papa, when does a spider wake up to eat?
Papa: When?  I guess whenever he wants to...
Cael: "Web"-feast...Not whenever he wants to.  Where did you get that?  That's just crazy...


I'm sure this is the first of many cheesy jokes to be told by my child...he is, after all, his father's son and part Brock!  I'm just not sure where he got this first one...
