Need to come clean about something:
How Vincent van Grandpa Got Busted!
So Kathy and I were babysitting Weston at his parent's house in Pasadena last month and after dinner I asked Weston if he wanted to watch some TV. Grandma said, "His mother doesn't want him watching a lot of TV. She'd rather we read to him or play games." Okay, so I read the boy a couple books, then said, "Okay, we're gonna watch a little TV. Who's gonna know?" So I turned on the internet TV and chose an animated movie, called "Home," and we started watching it. During a scene where the aliens are going to destroy France, they show the painting "Starry Starry Night" and I stop the TV and yell to Kathy, "Hey, check this out. They've got Vincent van Gogh in the movie." Fast forward to yesterday, and Weston's mom emails us saying the most amazing thing just happened. She was watching a movie with Weston called "Home" and he pointed at the TV and said, "Is that Vincent van Gogh?" Deena called in Mike and marveled at the knowledge of this two-and-a-half year old genius. So Deena wanted to how Weston would know about this? Did I show him a history book? Did I show him some drawings by Vincent? And, well, I had to come clean. And that's how Vincent van Grandpa got busted.
"Sorry, for busting you Grandpa."

He is pretty smart if he remembered Vincent van Gogh, especially a month later. You're going to have to be careful what you say around him!
ReplyDeleteFunny..At least, it was his memory about Vincent van Gogh than something really really bad..Kids absorb more that we realize.....:)
ReplyDeleteHow will you ever outlive the shame of this breach of contract with your flesh and blood, your own daughter? Heh, heh.
