Made My Day

On the long ride home from school the other day Eli & I had a conversation that I will remember forever...

Elijah: Mom, it's getting CRITICAL in here!

(I'm thinking, Wow what a great teacher. She's already teaching him about CRITICAL thinking)

I say: Wow, that's a big word. Where did you here that? (again, giving props in my head to his new teacher)

Elijah: I heard on "Jonas L.A.". It's in a Jonas Brothers song. (he then starts to sing the song)

I can't help myself, but to burst out laughing. My 6 year old is quoting pop songs to me. Hilarious! But then it gets better...

He says: Laugh it up fuzzball.

I'm thinking what in the world? Is he making fun of my crazy curly hair? How rude, but still it struck me as funny and I ask him where he got that saying.

He says: Han Solo says it to Chewbaca in the Empire Strikes Back.

Again... I had to shake my head and laugh...

Only could this all have come from Elijah. My little media sponge. If it's on TV, the computer or in a video, he's all over it.
