Quoting
I don't know how, but some people are born with this ability to completely quote movies. Word for word, no faltering, they can remember exactly how it was said in the movie. I am not one of these people. Even the girly movies that I have seen a bazillion times, I can never seem to quote from them when appropriate. And when I go out on a limb to try and sound funny, I stumble all over myself and it ends up coming out as word barf! My son, however is able to quote movies, and even applies the quote to a situation that relates. Here is how a conversation at breakfast went this morning:
After asking Luke three separate times (of course while I'm making lunches and emptying the dishwasher all at the same time) what he wanted for breakfast, he finally answers with a growl and pursed lips, "Strawberries and eggs." So what do I do, I make eggs and a side of blueberries. That's what he said right?
I bring his plate to the table. He finally comes to the table after getting up twice; once to use the bathroom and once to get his toy he forgot to bring to the table. I finally come to the table after getting up and down many times for the numerous things I have forgotten to bring to the table that are necessary for a meal; a spoon, water, Luke's water, Carolyn's food, my food...each separate trips to the table.
*You need to have watched Despicable Me to understand the rest of this.
As Luke sits down and looks at his plate of eggs and blueberries, he sighs, hangs his head in disgust, and says, "I said Cookie Robots not boogie robots."
I get up without a word because I am flabbergasted at 2 things: (1)the cleverness of my son and (2)that I have to get up from the table again.
After much searching for the before asked strawberries, I found them in his lunchbox...at least I halfway listened:)
