When I picked the boys up from school today Mike had a ‘light saver.’ It was a rolled-up and taped piece of butcher paper. I got a complete description of the ins and outs of light savers on the way home, and this from a child who has never seen Star Wars.
But of course Robbie wanted one, so I rolled up and taped a section of newspaper. Then Mike wanted to see whose stick was longer.
Really. I’m not kidding.
It turned out that the one I had made was larger, so of course I had to make another one from newspaper for Mike. Then they spent the next few minutes measuring their sticks. THANK GOD THEY WERE THE SAME SIZE!
Mr. Plain and I were eyeballing each other across the room and trying not to rupture something internal to keep from laughing. I almost burst a blood vessel in my eyeball.
Christ people, THEY’RE ONLY FOUR!!! This parenting boys thing is getting more interesting by the second.

Wait until you find 3rd graders comparing their actual ‘sticks’.
Oh man, I don’t think I could handle that…
Don’t get me started.
Oh come on, do tell!
That’s hilarious!
My first LOL of the day! Thanks.
