Overheard

I just overheard #2 son proclaim "I'm only scared of bears and lions. I'm made of meat, and lions eat meat!"

#2 has his Doppelganger over for a playdate this afternoon. After a mutually enthused meal of hotdogs followed by a dessert of cupcakes, I heard the following:

DG: “I like cupcakes with red icing.”

#2: “Me too.”

DG: “Your mom is so pretty.”

#2 [in a matter-of-fact tone of voice]: “I know.”

Things that warm my heart. ;)

Those of you with 2 boys near the same age will probably know this scenario all too well. I'll just point out that these guys learn a disturbing number of off-colour words at school. A lot more than I did at age 5 or 7. Even though they've been taught the proper words, they usually prefer to use the ones their friends are using.

Overheard at bedtime:
#1: “My penis is bigger than your penis!”
#2: [pauses to mull this over] “So? My balls are bigger than yours.”

Oh

Mom's away picking up #1 at school. I'm sick, working from home. #2 is watching a movie.

Me : "What are you doing with your hands down your pants?"
#2 : "I was feeling my penis" (OK, he's honest)
Me : "What were you feeling your penis for?"
#2 : "B'cuz I wanted to feel what it was like"
Me (holding back laughter) : "Well, what was it like"
#2 : "It's like a Tiger!!!"

No further explanation required, I guess. Hands come out of pants and he's watching his movie again!
