What a Four-Year-Old Power Trip Sounds Like

Mitch: "Mom, I love you one inch. I love Dad and my grandma's and papa's 61 inches. I love Nunu (the cat) 16 inches, but I love you one inch."

Me: "That's fine. Eat your lunch."



Next day...

Mitch: "Mom, you were good today. Now, I love you two inches."

Me: "Oh, goodie. Now, put on your pajamas."



Today...

Mitch: "Mom, I love dad all the inches because he does tricks."

Me: "Yeah, great. Tricks."



Would you like to see the result of one of Mike's "tricks?" This is what happens when Mike says, "Hmmmm....I wonder how long I can stand on my head" in a small apartment. Tall man + tiny room = no return on security deposit, but infinite inches of a child's love
