<As I was prepping clothing for a recent consignment sale, safety pins were scattered on the floor around me, leading to the following conversation>
Eamon: "Mommy, look! Gold safety pins! Can I have them to put in my piggy bank?"
Me: "Uh, I guess so but why do you want to do that?
Eamon: "They're gold! I'm going save them so we can go to London one day!"
Me: "Honey, they're not worth anything b/c they're not real gold."
Eamon: "Well, I think they are so I'm putting them in my piggy bank."
***** LATER*****
Eamon: "Daddy, look at the gold safety pins mommy gave me! I'm saving them in my piggy bank for London."
Mark: "Buddy, those aren't made of real gold."
Eamon: "Oh, ok."
So, Dad has more believability than Mom? :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, he's a total daddy's boy right now. Although I may have ruined my own credibility by always telling him, jokingly, that mom always knows everything! ;)
