Table for Three

We were leaving a meeting at Aidan's school the other night and Aidan was begging Brandon to carry him to the car.
B: "You're too big to be carried".
Me: "No hes not, he'll never be too big. Not even when hes in college".
He picks Aidan up.
B: "So what, am I going to carry you when you go on dates?"
Aidan: "Yes".
B: "And do I have to carry your date in my other arm? And how am I going to carry Gracie if I'm carrying you and your date?"
Aidan laughing: "I'll hold Gracie and I'll hide him so no one will be able to see him."
Me: "And what about when you get to the restraunt with your date? Wont it be wierd when she thinks there are only two of you on the date and you say "Table for 3 please".
Aidan: "HAHAHAHAHHAHA TABLE FOR 3, HAHAHAHHAHHAH TABLE FOR 3". "Mom, can I have a table for 3?" "HAHAHHAHAHAHAHA".
Me: "And are you going to ask for a high chair so that Gracie can see over the table?"
As we get in the car Aidan is still giggling and saying stuff under his breath, it takes a minute for him to settle down and hes quiet for a minute or two.
Aidan: "Mom, how about Gracie just brings a date too?"

Me: "have a good day, I love you"!
Aidan: "I love you too!" waves and walks away.
Turns around, runs back, knocks on my window. I roll it down.
Me: "what's up?"
Aidan: "don't forget to tell Gracie that I love him and I'll miss him while I'm at school!"

A Typical Morning Drive to School

We were driving to school the other day, it was early, I wasn't feeling all that well and Aidan wanted to have the whole "how is God Jesus and Jesus is God but God is Jesus' dad and how is God Jesus' dad if Joseph is his dad"...I did my very best and we moved on. Then he says, "I really hope Skylar is back at school today, do you know who Skylar is?"
Me: "No who is Skylar?"
Aidan: "A girl in my class who went to New Zealand which is almost at the end of the world".
Now just having finished the God is Jesus, Jesus is God talk, I really didnt want to get into the there really is no end of the world discussion so I let it go for another time.
Also, as you read this you have to forgive me for my geographic mistakes, as I said it was early, I wasnt feeling well, my mind had already been frazzeled. Anywho, thinking of New Zealand as Finland, I tell Aidan that it's a tiny country that is really far away.
Aidan: "What do you mean its tiny?"
Me: "Uh Oh".
Aidan: "You mean its tiny like everything is Gracie's size?"
My thought: HOW CAN YOU TEACH THE CHILDREN TO READ IF THEY CANT FIT IN THE BUILDING!!
Me: No I mean the area of it is small but it looks like this around us, like normal size.
Aidan: "NO IT DOESNT LOOK LIKE THIS! IT LOOKS LIKE NEW ZEALAND, THIS LOOKS LIKE TEMECULA!!!"
Me: No I meant the size of everything is the same as the size of everything in Temecula.
Aidan: "Then why did you tell me it was Gracie's size?"
Me: "I didn't"
Aidan: "Yes you did mom and I really didnt think there was a country that had everything that was Gracie sized but you made it up"
Me: "Im sorry. I was wrong".

Athletic Gracie

Gracie plays football for USC. When he went to the tryouts the coach picked him because he was already in the uniform and because hes so cute. Gracie is the best player on the team. The last game they played, against the Golden Frogs, Gracie made every single touchdown and his team won 10,000 to 0. Nobody could believe how good he is. Now he has to practice every day with the team and teach them how to not be afraid to score, because everyone is afraid to get the ball and score, including the coach. On occasion, Gracie also plays for the Raiders because he knows everything about football and sometimes they need his help.
