Sippy Cup (sitting on the couch, lazily perusing the App store on the iPhone):
"Hey Mom! Can I download something on your phone?"
M.O.M. (walking over to sit down next to him): "Sure. But it has to be something educational."
Sippy Cup: "Ok. How about something about dinosaurs?"
M.O.M. (taking the phone in her hands): "Dude, all you ever download are dinosaur games! Let me see if I can find something better. Oh! Look! They have one that teaches you Spanish! That sounds like fun!"
Sippy Cup (sitting up and looking over at the phone): "But I want to learn more about dinosaurs."
Me (walking over to stand behind the couch): "Little man. Listen to your mom. Speaking another language is an important skill. Trust me. You'll appreciate it when you're older and looking for a job."
M.O.M. (nodding in approval): "Yeah. Daddy knows how to speak Spanish fluently.
And, trust me, I wish I knew how to speak Spanish."
Sippy Cup (looking up at us with a big smile): "Then why don't you play that game?
And let me play my dinosaur game instead? Ha!"
Princess Teacup (from underneath the couch): "RAAAAAWRRRR!"
