Actual Conversation with Duke

January 22nd, 2008

On our way to pick up bagels:

Duke: Mama, we are doing teamwork.

(Teamwork is something they are teaching them at school and I’m thrilled to see he brings it home with him.)

Me: Yes, Buddy, we are doing teamwork.

Duke: We’re a good team.

Me: The best.

Duke: Mama and Duke ROCK.

Me: Yes, we do.

(Then I cried with joy and wondering if I could eat him up because he would taste much better than a bagel.)

Duke: Mama, don’t be sad.

Me: Buddy, I’m not sad. I couldn’t be happier. Sometimes Mama cries when she’s happy and you saying that we ‘ROCK’ just made me happy.

<SNIFFLE>

Duke: Ok. Now, can we turn right, PLEASE??

  1. I can so hear that conversation! I, on the other hand, got from Her Majesty last night, “I don’t think so, young lady. Whoops, let me rethink that last part.” I guess I no longer rock.

  2. Oh you guys… (guffawing.) Kids!
