Sippy Cup (jumping up and down in front of the book shelf): "One!"

Me: "I believe it's pronounced 'Good Morning' but I could be mistaken."

Sippy Cup (still jumping up and down): "Two!"

Me: "Please stop jumping."

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "I can't!  Three!"

Me: "Of course not.  And why is that?"

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "I can't reach the game I want.  Four!"

Me: "If I give it to you will you stop?"

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "No, not yet.  Five!"

Me: "I expected as much.  Why not?"

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "Because I'm doing my exercises.  Six!"

Me: "Why are you doing exercises?"

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "Because I ate a lot of junk food last night.  Seven!"

Me: "Grandpa said you ate rice, chicken and vegetables last night."

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "It makes me strong so I can fight the dinosaurs.  Eight!"

Me: "The dinosaurs?  What dinosaurs?"

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "From the movie.  Nine!"

Me: "The movie?  What movi...wait a second...you were watching

Jurassic Park with Grandpa again, weren't you?

Sippy Cup (jumping up and down): "Yep.  Ten!"

Me (shaking my head): "I need to speak to Grandpa."

Sippy Cup (wiping his face): "Phew!  That was good! Now I'm ready!"

Sippy Cup, D.D.S

Me: "Dude, you need to go brush your teeth."

Sippy Cup: "No thank you."

Me: "Ok, fine, don't brush your teeth.  Then your teeth are going to get covered with germs. 

And then they're going to fall out."

Sippy Cup: "That's fine."

Me: "Oh really?  You don't want any teeth?"

Sippy Cup: "I'll have teeth.  My big boy teeth.  When these little ones fall out, my big boy teeth will come down.  I'll brush those."

Me (silent stare)

Sippy Cup: "Fine! I'll go brush these little baby teeth for no reason!"

What I Learned Today (18)

Today, I learned that the quickest way to blow your cover during a secret spy mission to sneak into a room without waking up your son is by accidentally stepping into an open puzzle box and having 48 jagged puzzle pieces stab you in your bare foot. 

On a related note, I also learned that the only way to avoid doing a full-on ninja split when you step on 48 jagged puzzle pieces is through divine intervention.
