Conversation the morning of May 7, while I was at school and after Thing One had just gotten up,
Thing One: I tell Mommy my school is in Oklahoma, so she'll sing that silly song. (indeed, she does sing a showtune whenever the state is mentioned)
Dapper Dad: DON'T do that. We're trying to cut down on Mommy's silly songs.
Thing One: You don't like silly songs?
Dapper Dad: Not really.
Thing One: Do all mommies sing silly songs?
Dapper Dad: No, just your mommy.
Thing One: Why just my mommy?
Dapper Dad: I guess she's just special that way.
Thing One: Why don't you like special things?
Dapper Dad: Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

hhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ... Go to bed.
