The Small Boy Strikes Again!

So, last night Small Boy was having his weekly bath.

I commented that his skin has been very happy about the once a week bath routine (he has mild eczema that doesn't like baths in winter), but that his hair hasn't liked it very much.

In a high pitched, slightly hysterical voice I said, "Washmewashmewashme!" Small Boy changed it. In a determined definant chant, pumping his fist in the air, he shouted "Wash me! Wash me! Wash me!" Then he says, "We'll stage a protest at the Wash Me Foundation!"

OMG! I laughed so hard!!!

Later, he decided his new lego ship was the Federation Starship Wash Me.

Also, while at the store yesterday, he did ALL his sight words, almost all of them upside down, and about half of them, read through the back of the paper - therefore both upside down and backwards!

A top front tooth is going to be falling out any day now.

And I know there was another thing, but I can't think what now. Maybe it will come to me.

Anime for Girls

Oh! Nearly forgot! Last week, at Shoppers, I saw in the checkout line a specialty magazine called Anime for Girls. (Found a tiny blurb about it here.) I was sooooo tempted to grab it for dork_elf. I know zero about this fandom/culture/genre whatever you want to call it, but the magazine made me laugh. There was matchmaking for possible love interests and fantasy best friend match ups. Then there was a spread about which "Hollywood Hunks" could play which characters - hunks included OB (of course, poor man) and Hayden Christensen. I was in the grip of a hideous sinus headache, so I can't relate any more specifics about what characters, etc. But anyway, it cracked me up.

Kitchenware from Transylvania

Small Boy and I were talking about something I was going to cook.

He started talking about me using a spatula.

Then he started saying the word over and over, carefully and thoughtfully.

Then he said, "Did you notice, that when you say that word right, you sound like a vampire?"

Go ahead, try it. Spatula. ROFLMAO!

"Good afternoon, Law Offices of Olivier Long."

"Wow, so this isn't Reico!"

"No sir, but I've gotten calls for Reico several times in the last few days. I think there's some confusion."

"I dialied xxx-xxx-0600?"

"Yes sir."

"That is so strange, because that is our office number."

"No sir, that is our number. Are you sure you mean xxx-xxx-0600?" [AN - please note, that is the number he used to call me. He dialed it, it rang, I picked it up...]

"Yes! That's been our main office number for seven years, they must just have released it." [AN - referring here to the phone company, I suppose.]

"Are you sure, becuase xxx-xxx-0600, has been our number for as long as I've worked here, and before. I'd guess at least six years."

"That's our main office number."

"Are you sure? xxx-xxx-0600? Because it is God's truth that xxx-xxx-0600 is the ONLY number we ever give clients, and we always get our calls. Nobody says, "I was trying to call you and got Reico." And my husband uses that number to call me at work. And I use that number to call my boss when I'm not going to be able to come to work. I've even transferred that number to Vonage."

"Oh, wait! I see! It's a typo. Our main office number is xxx-xxx-0700!"
