A Goof + A Smarty

I decided to clean up and rearrange the boys rooms tonight (it's that darn nesting instinct kicking in again!). And boy oh boy, aren't they a pair!

**************** Goof ****************


Me (in a slightly exasperated tone): Alex, you are the MASTER of collecting JUNK!
Alex: oh... mm.... ahh, (insert goofy tone) THANK YOU for calling me a MASTER! You shall be rewarded for calling me a "master!" Very good. Very good!

It surprised me so much, I busted out laughing. This is my kid that is always so serious, even when he's supposedly having fun on a roller coaster, he keeps a straight face!

***************** Smarty ****************


Jared: Mommy, could I sleep in Alex's bed with Alex tonight??? Please oh please, with a cherry on top?
Me: No Jared, Alex's bed is too high. If you fall off, you'd hurt yourself. (secretly and smugly congratulating myself for coming up with such a smart excuse to deter him from sleeping in his brother's room!)
Jared thought about it for a second, then rushes out of Alex's room into his own room and yells: Mommy, come help me get this thing to Alex's room!!!
I walked in to discover him trying all his might to get the bed rail off of his bed. Grinning broadly, he said, "No I won't! We can put this thing there!"

Bah, I tell you, Bah! It's already starting...
