so, this conversation happened yesterday as we drove home. . .
andrew: i want to blow my harmonica.
me: no – it’s too loud for the car.
andrew: i WANT to. NOW.
me: well, i want a million dollars.
andrew: you no get a million dollars!
me: well, that’s true. i’d still like it.
andrew: no! NO! no million dollars. i don’t like it. i don’t want it.
aidan just chortles at all of this.
ha, little buddy! fyi, he still never got the harmonica back. instead, he had to console himself by playing with chewbacca. yes, my boys are star wars 
fans, and by star wars i mean the REAL star wars. none of this clone wars stuff (oh, alright, i did cave and get a clone wars coloring book because there were no regular, or legacy as they’re now referred to, ones available). by the way – i took a chance on the new clone wars cartoon over on cartoon network, and none of us could make it through one episode. it was way too creepy looking.

vis vobiscum, boys!
