Boys are awesomer than girls...

I was walking up the stairs tonight with Ethan while carrying his clean sheets. We had been talking about something random (probably either Buzz Lightyear, Zurg, Darth Vader or poop.) We had this discussion as we walked...

Ethan: "Daddy, you can't touch the walls or you will lose points."
Daddy: "Uhm, OK. How many points do I have right now?"
Ethan: "Well, you don't have a lot or you don't have a little. You have, like, 6 points right now. 100 is a lot.
Daddy: "Ok, I need some more points. I won't touch the wall."
(We are now in his room.)
Ethan: "I have, like, 9 points, Daddy."
Daddy: "Cool. I need to get some more points. How many do you have again?"
Ethan: "Uhm, I have, like, 6 points which is more than 9 points right now."
Daddy: "Well, kiddo....9 points is actually more than 6 points. I thought I had 6 points and you had 9 points. I think you won the game."
Ethan: (Long pause) "Hey, Daddy?
Daddy: "Uh-huh"
Ethan: "You can't touch the wall or you will lose points."

Boys are great because 1) there was no game until that moment, and 2) he and I both agree that he won the game.

Time to study....good night!

I promise I did not devise that game as a ploy to keep my walls gunk-free.
