Shortstack had a friend come home from school with him for the first time yesterday. Here are some of my favorite quotes (the ones that I can remember, at least…) from the afternoon. Unfortunately, there is no way to recreate the boys’ voices and inflection. I was in stitches the entire time. Would it always be so entertaining if both kids were your own??? The boys were in the backseat playing with the sunglasses and hats they had:

‘We are stylish.’ ‘We like to be stylish.’ ‘We like to be stylish to be/for _____. ‘ (this continues back and forth for a minute or two) ‘We like to be stylish to be silly.’ (pause) ‘But L, you already ARE silly…’

Also in the car:

‘I am an elephant. Do I look like an elephant? You look like an elephant.’ ‘Let’s be elephants. ( hands and fingers held up like tusks…) I’m going to charge your mama.’ ‘GET THAT MAMA!!!’

The boys had an in depth discussion about colors. After going back and forth for a while, this was how it ended:

‘I like ALL the colors in the rainbow. Even pink. But pink isn’t in the rainbow.’ ‘I like pink, too. Shortstack’s mom, did you know pink is the new boy color?’
