CHILD (watching the news with MOTHER): Are those people in line at Walmart?
MOTHER: Yes.
CHILD: Why are they at Walmart in the dark?
MOTHER: The people just said why. They want to buy a TV.
CHILD: I think we need a new TV. Our TV had static the other day.
MOTHER (laughing): Oh, really?
CHILD: We need a new TV from Walmart.
MOTHER: We don't need a new TV. There is nothing wrong with our TV.
CHILD: But our TV has static! And it keeps skipping!*
MOTHER: You just want a bigger TV, don't you? Like the one in the Walmart circular?
CHILD (seriously): I think we need a Sony.
MOTHER starts blogging about conversation on laptop. Child reads over MOTHER'S shoulder.
CHILD: What are you doing?
MOTHER: I'm writing about you.
CHILD: You typed about the TV skipping.
MOTHER: Yes. I thought what you said was cute. Are you mad at me?
CHILD: No. I am not mad. I just want a new TV. Tell them I want a new TV. This one we have was made in China.
*He means skipping like a CD player. It does not matter to him that this is actually impossible.

He is just too cute and too smart. He deserves a new t.v. if you ask me.
Oh, we've got to get him together with Bella. He is hilarious.
your child hasn't spent too much time around lead paint, has he. the brain on that kid is, um, how can I say this?
intimidating.
