Sam Says

This morning the boys were eating their breakfast and I left them to go talk to Chris, who was still in bed. Soon Sam came in to see what we were doing and this conversation ensued.

Sam: Dad, why are you still in bed?

Me: because daddy's tired.

Sam: DAD! You need 5 Hour Energy!

 We've told Sam several times that that stuff is bad for our bodies and we don't drink it. Especially with Graves disease in our family we try to let the boys know how energy drinks might affect them when they are older. Of course, not everything we say is going to be understood by our little boys, so we allow ourselves to laugh at a lot of Sam's anecdotes.

 I also noticed some tiny scratches on Sam's upper lip this morning.

 Me: Sam what happened to your lip?

 Sam: That scraper that Dad mows his face with, I was trying it and it just scratched me.

 Me: Dad mows his face......OH you mean Dad's razor?

 Sam: No, the scraper that mows the hair on dad's face.

 Me: Sam did you try to shave your face like dad does?

 Sam: ummmmm yeah, but it just scratched me.


 I think if he was more hurt or even a tiny bit upset about it, I would be more sympathetic, but this just made me laugh.
