Here's one for you, I'm not sure how I feel about it, but Daddy says, "He's a boy". Last night Calvin urgently called me in to the living room where he and his brother were watching some kids show where there were two teams competing, one for males, one for females. He then asked me, "Mom, who are you going to cheer for? The girls or the people?" Hmmm...he's a boy.

Calvin Quotes of the Week

In no particular order:

"Dad, have you ever slept in a bunk bed before?"
"Yep"
"Well get ready to do it again, I am making you a bunk bed."

2. While getting in trouble at dinner, Mom casually points out that Calvin is choosing not to go out for ice cream with the rest of us, which warrants this response in his most sincere, emotionless voice, "I am not choosing not to go to the ice cream shop, Mom."

3. Calvin spent about 45 minutes yesterday working on an untitled project. Occassionally he would ask questions like, "Can I sharpen some pencils?" "Where's the tape?" After almost an hour of work he emerges with a triangular shaped piece of paper with about 15 sharpened pencils stuck to it with almost a whole roll of masking tape. "Calvin, what's that?" "Its my safety machine!"
