12!

Mr. M turns 12 today!!

Me: You're 12 today! Do you feel any different?

Mr. M.: No, I'm still short.

Miss K.: You're growing shorter.

Mr. M.: Yeah. Basically. And it's not growing. It's shrinking! You can't GROW shorter.

Me: Matt! You are getting so wise in your old age. See? There is a difference!! Do you feel smarter?

Mr. M: (He shakes his head no). If I were smarter, I'd wish my birthday were before Wednesday cuz I took a test. But, since you don't get smarter, it doesn't matter. I'd have still gotten an 85%.

Me: Maybe the smart powers are in the birthday cake! You'll be smarter when you have your cake!

Mr. M: No, smart powers you get from going to school and paying attention in school!

Me: Who paid you to say that? The teachers? The principal?

Mr. M: (Grinning) Yeah.........

Me: Sucker! It's in the fudge sauce on the ice cream!

Mr. M: I don't like fudge sauce.

Me: Which is why you will never be smart OR GROW! Growth hormones are in fudge sauce.

Mr. M: I already AM smart!

Me: Oh! Well, happy birthday.

  3. OH MY GOSH!! Are you kidding? After all these years and all I had to do was eat the FUDGE SAUCE?? I could have done that. I could have done that EASY. Drat. What about the cute part, though? Because whatever does that, Matt's been doing it for years -

  6. Lyndee, And yet he still doesn't get it... he asked for a lemon cake!

    Misty, It's his sole goal in life. To please please please GROW!

    Kristen, YES! The fudge sauce. It's true! I eat it, I grow! Not in the direction I want. But I grow! As for the cuteness, he takes a spoonful of sugar each night before bed. It increases the dimples, makes the eyes twinkle more, and the smile that more darling.

    Jody, Oh yeah??? Then where is it? :D

    Chastina, Yes. Sigh. 12. Dang it!

    Anaise, He had a great weekend. A very special weekend.

    Anony, Yeah. I have to admit he does that to me too. He's never going to be allowed to grow up and leave me.
