Smarter than he looks

Sometimes I hear my kids playing and I think, Alex isn't going to get it. His sister has outsmarted him again. I will learn someday not to underestimate him. The other day, I heard him say, "Elena, I don't like your shoes." She stopped for a moment and then replied, "Well, it's opposite day!!" Feeling vindicated, she turned to walk happily away. She and I both thought she had him. She didn't get a few feet across the room before I heard his happy reply, "Heeeey Eleeenaaaaa! I loooooove your shoes!"

Oh these little people that live in my house are so amazing. Who needs sitcoms??
