Over at The Peach Pit, Peaches has written about a recent conversation with her son about school supplies that made me laugh. All kids are like that, but it's still funny. It sounds like conversations I'm bound to have with my son in the future. He's not quite 2 yet, so our conversations are more along the lines of: Me: How are you little man? Him: Blue. Blue. Blue. Blue. Me: Yes, the pillow is blue. Him: Pillow. Pillow. Pillow. Pillow. Me: (mixing a gin and tonic) Do you want the pillow? Him: More. More. More. More. Me: (drinking the gin and tonic) On the other hand, my wife would probably aruge that this sort of conversation is better and more productive than some that her and I have: Wife: Did you clean the cat litter? Me: (Sitting on the couch) I will. Wife: Do you have cat litter? Me: (Still sitting...) I think so. Wife: Why don't you check? Me: There isn't any. Wife: There's some in the car. Me: (In a panicked tone) All the way downstairs? (we live on the third floor) Wife: (Beats me with a lamp. Yes, it's happened. Ok, no it hasn't...but it probably will...)
