Too Smart

While holding Ethan in the rocking chair, trying to get the boys in bed, this was mine and Ryan's conversation:

Ryan: "Mom, can you play a card game with me?"

Mom: "Not tonight Ryan, it's already past your bedtime, but if you'd like I'll read you a story"

Ryan: "Well Mom, by the time you read me a story, you would have had time to play a card game"

Mom: (Thinking) What can I say to that? "Ryan, you're right, go get the card game"


What's a Mom to do when her boy is too smart for her??

Too funny! Today I got mad at Kyle for spilling his food and he said, "mom, it was an accident, accidents happen!" Kids are definetly smarter than we give them credit for!

Sounds like a stalling tactic my kids would think of!! He definitely is thinking:)

That's very logical. Don't you hate it when they make sense? I also have to agree with him about the Jazz game (a few posts back), I think they're loud and boring too;)

Oh yeah, I laughed really hard at the boot post. They're super cute, but I can see how they would be very painful!
