January - April 2009

January 26, 2009: Alexander asked me a question that I didn't know the answer to. I said, "I don't know everything.". He responded by saying, "That's because you have the smaller brain.". Ouch.

April 9, 2009: Alexander was playing with my old Palm Pilot. I asked him what he was doing and he said, "I'm just doing some mobile banking.".

April 9, 2009: Alexander wanted a coloring book. I told him he could use some of his money to buy it. He said, "I can't buy the coloring book. I'm saving all my money for college.". We had talked about saving money for college, so I was feeling rather proud. Turns out he thought he needed to save money to BUY a college. Note to self: Be clear in your expectations.

April 10, 2009: Alexander was going with John to run an errand. Alexander dressed himself in jeans and his cowboy boots. He rolled the jeans up to his knees and when John saw it he told Xander to roll his pants down. Xander replied, "Then no on will be able to see the fashion!". Indeed.

April 16, 2009: Alexander: "Mom, did you know dad has Young Women Crackers?". Mom: "Do you mean Girl Scout Cookies?". Alexander: "Yes!".

April 17, 2009: Alexander was sitting at the counter in the kitchen. He said, "Mom, what's that noise?". I said, "It's you, banging your feet against the counter.". Alexander said, "No, it's the money you could be saving with Geico. It's been staring at you forever.".
