Literally Speaking

Some days I really wonder where Joseph has space in his head to remember all these little events and factoids.

Yesterday I was feeling a bit exhausted after having six doctors appts in two days. So I asked the boys if I could relax and watch Oprah for an hour. They agreed. There I was sprawled out watching Oprah and working on a sudoku puzzle at the same time. Us women...we can multi-task you know. When Joseph comes into the living room in a flap of flaps and is losing it on me about how I said I was going to watch Oprah and now I am not. I assured him that I was infact watching the show. His reply was "No your not your doing your puzzle!"
Me: "Joseph, I can do two things at once"
J: "Well, now your LYING to me! Why do you lie Mom? Why?"
Me: "whoa! Why do you think I am lying to you?"
still answering me in his "flappy" voice
J: "well just the other day when I asked you to do you something you told me that you could only do one thing at a time!"

OHY. Where does this kid come up with this stuff? In all honesty I do not remember what he asked me to do or the specific conversation. But I can tell you that it very much probably is something I did say to him at one time or another.

I guess he had me there. I guess I can only multi-task when the circumstances are right.
