They went HOW FAST??

According to James, he went "exscreamly" fast on his bike the other day. I said, "do you mean *extremely*?", and he said, "no, when you go so fast that you scream, it's exscreamly fast!".

Also, totally unrelated, but did you know that the first few words to "YMCA" are "young man, get your pants off this song...". Yeah, neither did we. Thank goodness James cleared that up!

I only worry sometimes...

Every day, since James has learned to ride his bike, we hear, "can I ride my bike today?!". The only exception is at night, when he asks, "can I ride my bike tomorrow?!".

So... there's no school today, and guess what that little monkey is doing? Now I get that it's exercise, which warms you up, but it's been a tad nippish today.. it's about 61 degrees right now and he's riding around in short sleeves. I asked him if he wasn't cold, and he said, "Mommy, don't worry about me". I reminded him that, as his mommy, it's my JOB to worry. His response? "You can worry about me being hurt, but don't worry about me being cold".

Just so long as we have the rules downpat.
