Kelly, though he is only four, is a bit of a smart-alec. Today I gave him his velcro backed uppercase alphabet letters, but forgot to give him the board he’s to stick them to. He said, “Yo!” And when I glanced down he was giving me that look. I didn’t immediately see the problem, so I said, “What?”
He rolled his eyes. “Fine,” he said. Then he picked up his alphabet letters and began placing them on the table like he was matching them to their lowercase counterparts on the board.
“Oh!” I exclaimed. “Sorry!” I grabbed the board and handed it to him.
As he took the board he responded sweetly, “Why thank you. You shouldn’t have.”
I raised my eyebrows at him.
He grinned at me and wrinkled his nose.
Oh boy, he’s going to keep you entertained.
Somehow, that’s how I imagine my dad to have been at that age.
Smart-alec? I thought the end of that word was spelled with “eh – es – es”.
Oooooooh, somehow I think I know EXACTLY where he learned it from!!! hehehe….
Thanks for stopping by the party – and spillin’ stuff! Your contribution is MOST appreciated!
that sounds sort of familiar
clever kid!
hum… Yeah, I remember those days with mine. I had to frequentlly leave the room so they would not see my face.
Oh he had his listening ears on
Nessa — yep. He’s my, “I no nappedding, boy,” and by that I think he means he’s a live wire!
SN — your dad must have been a fun kid!
Morgan — only when applied to you.
Melli — are you implying I had something to do with that boy’s smart mouth? Me? Whattever would make you say such a thing?!
Polona — he is quite bright and has no business in a special ed classroom. He squeaked in just under the wire.
Jill — we do the same.
Betty — yes. He;s a little songe for sure. And he’s soaking up all the naughty stuff!
*eyes POPPING* … did I saaaaaay that?
That’s the kind of thing I’d expect from a 10- or 11-year-old, not a 4-year-old. Holy Moly!
