Otis and Einstein

My 7-year-old is very comical.

His funny remarks have kept me going over the past few weeks.

Labor Day weekend was no different. I had promised Griff I would set him up on the computer so he could play a game. He evidently thought I was taking too long, and said, "C'mon, Otis, let's go play that game."

OTIS?

I asked him where he heard that, and he told me it "just came to him." Then, he grinned from ear to ear.

Later that night, I accidentally knocked his picture off of the wall in the hallway. Griff shouted, "Moooooooooooom, you just broke my picture." Since he was stating the obvious, I said, "I can see that, Einstein." And that's how our nicknames were born.

We get a kick out of calling each other our friendly aliases. Since then, Hayden has become "Elmer" and Greg is "Elvis."

Otis, Einstein, Elmer and Elvis. Sometimes you gotta laugh.
