Field Trip Blues
Jadon (8): “My field trip is this week.”
Mama: “I know. I signed up to be a volunteer.”
Jadon: “Aw, darn it. I wanted to do inappropriate stuff.”

Superheroes Have to Eat, Too
I’m trying to take a picture of them all around the table for my ‘Eating Personalities of Children” article.
Asa (5): “Spider-Man, shooting.”
Hosea (4): “Batman, flying.”
Zadok (2): Captain America, eating.”

Driving in the car
Boaz (2): “Daddy, you going wrong way.”
Daddy: “No, actually, I know where I’m going.”
Boaz: “No! Turn around. Daddy, turn around. You going wrong way.”
Daddy: “…”
It’s impossible to win an argument with a 2-year-old. We know. We’ve tried.
Daddy: “No, actually, I know where I’m going.”
Boaz: “No! Turn around. Daddy, turn around. You going wrong way.”

What’s My Age Again?
Zadok: “I five years old.”
Hosea: “No! You’re 2.”
Zadok: “I talking to Mama! Mama, I five.”
Mama: “No, actually Hosea’s right. You’re only 2.”
Zadok: “No! I five!”
Hosea and Zadok argued about this for no less than fifteen minutes. I wish I were kidding. I’ll never, ever get that time back.
Hosea: “No! You’re 2.”
Zadok: “I talking to Mama! Mama, I five.”
Mama: “No, actually Hosea’s right. You’re only 2.”

Say What?
Mama: “No, Zadok, you may not go outside. I’m sorry. We need to do our chores.”
Zadok: “You not the boss, Mama.”
Mama: “Um…yes I am, actually.”
Zadok: “Daddy the boss. Daddy, I want go outside.”
Daddy: “Mama said no.”
Zadok: “Mama not the boss.”
Daddy: “Yes she is.”
Zadok: “No! Mama doesn’t have a penis.”
I need help with this one. Our boys don’t watch television. My husband doesn’t tell them that only boys are bosses. We don’t read books that indicate that males are the only authorities…where does this male supremacy come from?
