He especially likes to illustrate this talent at bedtime. Partly because he has the undivided attention of either myself or Super Husband and partly because it is a very effective delay tactic.
Tonight's conversation:
Little Man: Mommy?
Me: Yes?
LM: Have you met The Grinch?
Me: No, I haven't
LM: Me either. He's a stranger. You should not talk to strangers.
Me: That's good advice.
LM: I would hug The Grinch
Me: Really?
LM: Yes. Does he see us? Does he know what we are doing?
Me: You mean like Santa?
LM: Yes, like Santa.
Me: No, I don't think so.
LM: [while poking me in the right breast] Do you know what this is?
Me: Ummmm......what?
LM: A horn!
I cannot help but laugh!
There are moments I am filled with sadness at the thought that one day our beautiful boys will suddenly realize that me and Super Husband are not the center of the universe after all.
