Momo Fali's: I Like The Way He Thinks

I Like The Way He Thinks

My nine year old daughter loves to send and receive e-mail. It doesn't even matter if that e-mail comes from someone in her own household. Someone who, instead of typing a few paragraphs, could say the same thing from across the room. I envision her as a teenager, sending text messages to friends seated right next to her.

For the fun of it, she sent my five year old son a message last night, and knowing she would be happy to get a reply, I got on the computer to help him.

I told my son, "We're going to send your sister an e-mail."

As he climbed up on a stool I asked, "What do you want it to say?"

And, there should be no doubt that he is his father's son, because he replied, "Tell her to get a job."

Though, I don't think she would earn much of a paycheck, because I can't even get her to pick up her socks.

HAHAHAHA!! I LOVE that kid! He's going to grow up with the greatest personality. Now, is he saying it for the financial benefits, or to get rid of her?!

Smart ass! Although I have one of those too. Yesterday my middle guy was throwing the tantrum of all tantrums as his grandma was leaving and my oldest, the biggest smart ass and a complete replica of his father tell grandma, "Hey, could you shut him up on your way out?"

Grrrreaatt.

It may just be me, but I imagine him sounding a bit like James Cagney when he delivered that line.

love it!

Oh, kids will pick up someone else's socks, if it's a job outside the family... My son at 15 got hired by a neighbor to do some around-the-house stuff for her, and when she exclaimed to me over how helpful he was and how good at getting stuff put away for her, I was like, wait. Are we talking about *my* kid?!

Unless the job was leaving socks on the floor. (My nine year old has that job, too!)

That is beyond cute! Did you just hug him in half when he said it ;)

i bet if *i* asked her to, she would. kids *always* do stuff for other people. which is both good and worrying.

i'm going to march upstairs right now, just to prove my point, and tell queen of hearts that momo fali wants her to pick up her damned socks. i will say that of course i hoped you would use less strong language, but it couldn't be helped.

then i will get whiplash from the picking-up.

but when *i* say it...well, you know.

He is adorable. I bet he's already looking into a suitable health care plan for her. I so enjoy reading your anecdotes about him!

That boy of yours is the funniest person on the planet! And I feel for you when she starts to text message, I don't think my daughter's fingers ever stop moving.
