My Atari Never Caused Such Pain

Luke was crying about something he couldn't get past in his video game. I told him he should turn it off if a game was going to make him cry. He replied, "I'm not crying. I just have a lot of water in my eyes."

Spider Confusion

Luke brought home a paper spider from school.  The boys all made them in kindergarten and I knew there was a story that went with it.  I couldn't remember the spider's name but I said I thought it started with an "A."
No one else remembered either and we kind of forgot about it.
Out of the blue several days later, Luke suddenly yelled that he remembered the spider's name...  Beyonce!

Thinking that he was probably not quite right, I looked up the story.  Turns out the spider's real name is Anansi.

Sick Day Entertainment

Luke is home today recovering from strep throat.  He feels fine and is being highly entertaining to me.  Couple of quotes from him...

Me: What's that red spot on your arm?  Does it itch?

Luke: It's been there mostly for three days and it's kind of itchy.

Me: After lunch, I can put some cream on it.

Luke: Really?  Whipped cream?!?

And after a long discussion of who he sits by at school...  "Ethan used to sit by me but he had to move.  He is even more talkable than me!"

Second Best

Luke had a minor incident at school involving talking (shocker) so he had to sit out at PE for a while.
I told him the next day that I expected him to be the best kid in class that day. He shook his head and said, "Nope. Can't do that. Henry is the best kid in the school."
Today I asked if he was good. He said, "Yes. But not as good as Henry."
I need to meet this kid!
