Katy and I had something to do this evening, so my brother was going to watch the boys for a couple of hours. Because I didn't want my brother to have to worry about feeding them, I was running through the McDonald's drive-thru after picking them up from school. Benjamin never wants to eat in the car. He always says, "Are we parking?" If the answer is "no," he gets a little fussy. Today's conversation went something like this:
Benjamin: Are we parking?
Greg: Not today. We have to get home, so we will be eating in the car.
Benjamin: [whining] I want to park. I don't want to eat in the car!
Greg: Would you rather we not go to McDonald's at all today?
Benjamin: ....
Greg: Ben? Do you want to drive through, or should we just go home?
Benjamin: .....
Greg: Should we drive through?
Benjamin: Yes.
Jacob: I'm glad he said yes, because if he said no, I would not concur, because he would make me not get McDonald's either.
Greg: [Internal monologue] Did he just say "concur"? Yes, he did, and he used it correctly. hmm...weird. Where did he hear that? Who knows. Whatever. You shouldn't be so surprised; he does this all the time. Also, did he really think I would let Benjamin decide whether we got to eat dinner or not?
Jacob DOES do that kind of thing all the time. Yet I'm still surprised every time, and I wonder what may be coming next. Whatever it is, it will be something amazing.
