kids say the darndest things...

As you can see...I'm up at 2a.m., oh wait 3a.m. now WIDE awake b/c I took one excedrin which has caffeine in it and I'm the giganticist caffeine weenie ever. I have a cold. So does Mike. We're miserable...feel sorry for us. Ok thanks, now read the following humorous quip about my four year old nephew:

Setting: At mom and dad's in Athens visiting the family for xmas. It's been off and on thunderstorming and the sun has gone down...it is about time for me to be getting home to the other sick person I know.

Me: "Well, I guess I better get going?"
Grant (jumps up and throws himself spread eagle across the door) saying dramatically: "No you can't leave, it's WAY too dangerous for you to go home now...you MUST stay here!"
Me: "But won't Uncle Mike be sad if I don't come home?"
Grant: "Oh well...just call him and tell him to come here."
(pause)
Grant (matter of factly): "He can sleep with you and Mana in Mana's room..."

For this story to be funny, it's important you know who "Mana" is...not just anyone...
...Mana (from heaven) is my mom...Mike's soon-to-be-mother-NLAW.

Me (trying not to fall off my chair): "Well let me just get him on the phone then and see what he says..."

As Gina would say..."oh Grant!" ; ) what a cutie
