Excuse me?

The other day, Sara and I were taking the kids out to dinner and a movie.  On the way to dinner Keaton was playing this game where he was trying to get someone to say the word “what.”  Knowing that game very well from my childhood, I listened to the questions being asked and the ways that Keaton was trying to trick someone into saying “what.”  After a few minutes I piped up and here is how the conversation went:

Me:  Hey Kea, what word are you trying to get us to say?

Keaton:  YOU JUST SAID IT!

{laughing and giggling from Keaton and Weston}

Me:  I didn’t say “it"”, I just asked what word you are trying to get us to say.

Keaton:  YOU JUST SAID IT AGAIN!

{more laughing and giggling}

Me:  I didn’t say “it”.  Just tell me what word you are trying to get us to say.

This goes on for a few minutes.  Finally this stops – the boys frustrated, and me with a big smug smile on my face.  About 5 minutes later we hear the boys talking about the game again.

Keaton:  Let’s try and get him to say the word again.

Weston:  Nah, Dad doesn’t even know what the hell the word is.

I about crashed I was laughing so hard, I just couldn’t help it – the little stinker – it’s not that he used the word, but that he used it in perfect context.

I love that kid.
