Overheard

The other night, I was in the kitchen when S was rounding up the children to come in from outside. His request didn't go over too well, since this is what I heard from a very angry little boy.

"How rude is that, to ask a five-year-old to come in from outside?"

Apparently, we have been using the "rude" word too liberally at our house, and my little man, who just had a birthday, has aged two years instead of the usual one. Hmm. Needless to say, the four-year old did come in for bed, and I didn't laugh in front of him.
