I was making what I thought was a vitally important point to Caleb when he talked right over me and asked me about something totally unrelated.
[warning: true confessions]
At the top of my lungs I screamed at him, "THAT IS NOT OKAY!!!"
He just kind of looked at me, and then his lips started moving and I lowered my voice a bit and went on, "When you do that what it communicates you are thinking is, 'Mom's not a person...'"
Not even blinking, he just looked right at me and said, "No, I was thinking, 'Mom has hormones.'"
In the retelling of this to Daddy, Caleb was informed that what is funny and can "get you off the hook" at six, may not work so well for you when you are a grown man/husband. ;)
[Oh, and yes, I dissolved into laughter, pulled him onto my lap, apologized for shouting and told him he was spot on. But I also told him it might not always have that effect.]
