Here are a couple random conversations that occurred around here recently:
A Careful 5-Year-Old
Me: Be careful, you just hit your brother on the head!
Beta: Yes, but I didn’t poke his eye!
At least he knows what’s important. But where does he learn such things?
Countdown
Beta: What day is tomorrow?
Me: Tuesday.
Beta: And the next day?
Me: Wednesday.
Beta: And the next day?
Me: Thursday.
Beta: Yea! Three more days until Wipeout!
The kids are big Wipeout fans. They were so excited to learn that Winter Wipeout was changing to Spring Wipeout. But then Alpha’s school complicated things:
Challenge
Alpha: The 4th-grade class challenged the school to a week without TV.
Me: That means no Wipeout…
Alpha: Well, we don’t have to do it.
Challenge? That sounds optional. At least I won’t worry about his being tempted by dares when he’s older.
I will stretch over Jerusalem the line of Samaria and the plummet of the house of Ahab, and I will wipe Jerusalem as one wipes a dish, wiping it and turning it upside down.

I think the conversations with your boys are some of the posts I enjoy most. Your kids are hilarious!

Wipeout = BEST SHOW EVER.

The slapstick-type physical humor is good enough, but the commentary and telestrator add to the fun.

The giant hot dogs at the end of the qualifying course make me laugh the most. It’s best when people get over the second one and think they’re all set to finish…and then it whips forward and throws them into the water.
