Life with the World's Best 5 Year Old
Two conversations with Dylan today.
This morning, the boys are playing in the living room while I make breakfast~
Aaron: Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
Matt: What, Aaron?
Aaron: Wah, wah, wah, wah, wah
Matt: What's up, Aaron? What do you want?
Dylan: Yeah, So what-cha, what-cha, what-cha want? (Beastie Boys lyric, used appropriately)
After school later the same day, while walking to the library to return a huge bag of books~
Me: How was school today? What did you guys do?
Dylan: We had science time.
Me: Oh, fun! What did you do during science time?
Dylan: We worked with science tools. But I'm already a scientist (he says this a lot), so I know how to do things already?
Me: Cool.
Dylan: What kind of scientists are there?
Me: There are lots (begins to list some of them)
Dylan: Dad's a scientist because he's an engineer.
Me: Yup, he is.
******Return library books, begin to walk back to the car******
Dylan: I think I'm going to be a book scientist.
Me: Oh... umm..... okay, that sounds good....
Me, a minute later: Oh you know what Dylan, I actually have my graduate degree in that... I have my degree in LIBRARY science.
Dylan: Mom, that is SO cool.
Me (in my own thoughts... I had 2 simultaneously): 1- I'm sure that's the first time anyone has ever thought library science was cool, and 2- Yay, finally Dylan thinks I'm cool :)
