Fabric

We were at the fabric store today picking out material for Steven's pajamas and we were all sort of spread out in the store looking for something cool. Ofcourse, I was in the sale section and the kids were all looking in novelties. Steven came to find me and went, "Mom you've got to see this one I found.." So I followed the little fella with the tossled hair, zippy sounding winter coat and snow boots over to the other section, and he showed me Buzz Lightyear. I'm like, "8.99 a yard?! I don't think so dude..." He went, "Mo-om...." how kids do that like it has two sylllables. Dang we all did that.

Anyhow I took him back over to the sale section where I had been looking and Nick picked something, and from Steven he got a direct 'no.' Lea found another something and Steven sighed and said, "No." So I find this flannel fabric with cartoony aliens in spaceships (he loves aliens)~ and by now he is exasperated with the lot of us and he was like, "Mo-om, that's for babies!" I said, "But buddy, it's aliens in spaceships.." And he pointed his little forefinger at one of them, looked me dead in the eye and said through gritted teeth (frustrated as hell), "See? LOOK. It's a one eyed alien and he's smiling."

He just this minute yelled for me to come into the bathroom and he has been devoured by bubblebath in the tub and I can only see his mouth through a little hole he made in the bubbles, and he said, "I seriously don't know where the rest of my body is."
