Table Talk
Mysteriously, we found ourselves discussing 4 year olds at dinner. I looked up, caught Zander's eye, and said, "Zander, you are my favorite 4 year old in the whole world". This is a line I've used countless times with countless children (or at least 8 to date).
He looked up and said indignantly, "I'm NOT FOUR! I'm SIXTY - NIIIINE!!!"
We burst into laughter. I explained that if he was 69 - he's older than Dad and Grandpa. He replied, "Wow - I really got up there fast!" :::snort:::
Ok, now THAT one is funny:)

What's really funny is that the is STILL insisting today that he is 69. I can't wait for someone to ask him how old he is at chapel. LOL
ReplyDeleteHe always makes up ages and often folks believe him because he is tall for 4; but I doubt anyone will believe he is 69!
I have a two year old who parrots just about anything anyone else says. For the longest time he insisted he was five - just like his big brother. LOL It sounds like Zander keeps you laughing though. :-)

Alexander: Guess What! You are our favorite 69 yr. old grandson. We have found the 60's to be a good time in life and challenging. Hang on Alexander cus you are in for some real fun etc.
ReplyDeleteActually you have the fun idea of someone in the 60's.
