Hungry as ...

Today Lincoln spent the day with "Gramma Biggie"... Her name is actually Ethel and she's my best friend's mom. I've always called her "Big E" -- Like Big Ethel from the Archie comics - I really have no idea why... Anyway... Lincoln heard me call her Big 'E' and he thought I was saying Biggie so he started calling her Gramma Biggie... Anyways... I worked this weekend and since Christine is closed on the weekends, Gramma Biggie spent the day with Lincoln. She'll be back for a repeat tomorrow dayshift and then next weekend as well... (after next block, I'm off for 12 glorious days!! Not that I'm excited or anything.)
Anyways, I called Lincoln from work, multiple times, but I called him around 4pm and he asked me to come home in an hour. I told him I couldn't come home in an hour, that I still had three more hours to work. He was irritated by this and asked me why.
I jokingly told him I work with mean people and they wouldn't let me leave work for three hours. Lincoln's response to this was - "Well, tell them that you're gonna be mean at them too and then they'll let you come home to me."
It was pretty funny... but then... he's always pretty funny...

So, three hours later, I came home from work and made a macaroni salad.  Is at down to eat it and Lincoln comes over and says, "Mommy? Where's my supper?"
I gave him a bite and he eats it, then says, "But Mommy, I want my own."
Me: "Lincoln, didn't you eat supper with Gramma?"
Lincoln, "Well, yes but- I'm still hungry. I get hungry you know. I'm as hungry as Gafield!"
Me: "Wow, that's pretty darn hungry."
Lincoln, "Darn is a bad word!"
Me, "Darn is not a bad word."
Lincoln, "Okay, well I'm still hungry like Garfield and the only thing that makes me not hungry like Garfield is eating supper with you, when you eat supper. Cause I love you tooooo much."
**does he know how to suck up or what!!***

As for Darn being a bad word. Living with Lincoln is like having the language police with you all the time. It doesn't matter where he is or what he's doing, if you say anything from darn to stupid to something more extreme, he'll yell out to you and say "___??___ is a bad word." I'm sure he has super-sonic hearing because litterally, he can be in the bathroom or the bedroom with his door shut and I can be in the living room on the phone and he'll still hear me.

Anyways, that's the story for today. I plan to upload a few more pictures from Lincoln and Myles' playdate, but that may have to wait since I'm a bit tired. I think it's time we head off to bed!
