Here is a little glimpse of what it is like to live with Coley. I was doing the dishes while the boys were playing with yu-gi-oh cards in the other room. I heard this:
Monk: Coley! Did you spill that? You better go clean it up before it reaches the yu-gi-oh cards!
Cole: Don't worry! I built a floodgate!
I walked into the living room to find that Coley had spilled an entire cup full of water and had, indeed, constructed a floodgate out of blocks, rather than mopping up the spill.
The question is...how can I get mad at him when he showed so much ingenuity? And what 6 year old thinks of the term "Floodgate?"
You know...when Monk was this age, I really thought I had a live-action Calvin sans Hobbes living in my house with me. Coley, however, is even moreso.
Oh, and...I threw him a rag and he mopped it up. So I didn't have to worry about getting mad at him, anyway.
Oh, and also...Coley's quote of the week came yesterday, when he turned to his friend Paulo after having gotten really dreadfully angry with him over a dispute in rules of their never-ending imaginary game and said "I really like you, Paulo...but sometimes I want to BLAST YOU to SMITHEREENS!! ...pause... SOMETIMES, but not ALWAYS."
heh.
