Play Phone

I just overheard Eli having a pretend conversation with his Grandma on his play phone.

"Grandma I'm not a crybaby."

"Mom, Grandma said she was going to whack me in the face."

"No, Grandma I don't wear diapers."

I said, "Eli, Grandma wouldn't say those things to you.  That's not very nice."

His response was, "I know Mom, you know I'm not really talking to Grandma, the phone's not even real!"

Write that down too

Dinner conversation with Eli tonight:

Eli: How many more bites do I need Mom?

Me: You need 5 more GOOD bites.

E: When I have kids, I won't care if they have small or big bites.  It won't matter.

M: I'm going to write that down and remind you of that when I come to visit you and my grandkids.  I will tell them that their daddy once said that it didn't matter how good their bites were.  They could have 5 more tiny bites if they wanted.

E: Well it won't matter, and you're just kidding.

M: No, I really am going to write that down so I can remind you when you're a daddy.

E:  Well, you really are just kidding, so write that down too.
