Adventures in Babysitting
Me: We can have a Wii Game Night!
Caleb: We can play Wii golf, or Wii baseball, but not boxing.
Me: Why not boxing?
Caleb: Because you’re an old lady and old ladies can’t box.
Me: Oh, it’s ON, boy-o!
(I took one boxing match and he took the other).

Me: Phoebe really gave me a hard time today while you were at school. She hissed and growled at me. I don’t know why she doesn’t like me.
Caleb: Maybe she senses you’re not a good person.
Me: …

Caleb, wiping the table after dinner: I get a quarter for doing this.
Me: But I helped, clearing the dishes and getting your paper towels; I should get ten cents out of that quarter.
Caleb: No, because it’s your job to cook and clean. That’s what you were hired to do.
Me: (chased the boy out of the house)

So funny! He could be on that show “Kids Say the Darndest Things..” (Is that even still on? Probably not) Oh well….sounds like you had a very nice/sarcastic visit.
I think Caleb is picking up on the Smith-sarcasm quite well, don’t you think?

Wow! Are you sure that was Caleb you were talking to? Perhaps a time warp occurred and it was actually Tom…

Yeah, cute, huh? ‘cept I don’t think he was being sarcastic. He was quite serious.
Damn.
