snippets to remember

• Chris and I were having a playful argument about the heater in the van being on or off, and he finally blurted out, "Who's the man in this vehicle?" Sean chimed in from the backseat, "The wise man!"
• Sean's recently started calling people "names," purely in jest, but I'm trying to break him of it to prevent conversations like these from taking place with people who might not be, um, understanding:
• S: Mommy, you're a dude!
• M: I'm a dude?
• S: Yeah, you're a dude!
  
• B: Mobby, oo is boob.
• M: Yeah, that's more like it.
• S: She's a Jew?
• Sean and Ben were wrestling around on our bed while Chris was in the room. Ben started trying to pretend-fight, something they aren't allowed to do on our bed (for fear of heads going through walls or furniture or some such catastrophe), so Sean tells him, "No, Ben, we can't fight!" Chris leaves the room a few seconds later and hears Sean say, "Okay, Ben, NOW we can fight."
• Sean and I had a discussion about boys growing up to be men, girls growing up to be women, and I thought he grasped the concept until I heard him yell from the playroom a few minutes later, "Mommy, after I'm done being a daddy, then will I be a woman?"
• Sean informed me this afternoon while eating his snack that when he goes to sleep he wipes his bogies on his bed. Lovely.

Never a dull moment around here!
