Of course I couldn't, "throw my fit," because I was laughing too hard. This is the normal game between parents and children. Children get in trouble, parents get mad, children get out of trouble if they can make their parent laugh. My children get out of trouble a lot, specifically Silas.
I began the Twitter handle @RaisingSilas just so I would have an archive of what he has said.
Me: "Silas, why is the floor wet?
Confused, I asked him to explain.
"I'm like a little boy in a candy store," Silas, while getting candy from a candy store.
These are some of my favorite sayings of Silas, but they are not the funniest. The greatest things he has said, I'm not allowed to Tweet, blog, or mention from stage on Sunday morning.
It happened a few years ago. Ella was in Kindergarten and had a difficult day which resulted in her being sent to the principal's office. This fascinated Silas. As we sat down for dinner, it's all he wanted to talk about.
On and on he went until I finally began to feel sorry for Ella. Eventually I had enough and I told him, "Silas, that's enough. It is none of your business. So help me, if the next words out of your mouth aren't about you and your day, you are going to be in big trouble.
Start the day with a smile on my face!
Seriously laughing out loud. What a cute kiddo.
I do believe he has a future on the stage! How funny and thanks for sharing your blessings.
Kevin, he's your son! You know he had to be unique!
