Cheater Cheater Pumpkin Eater

So Gavin pipes up in the van that his teacher," let them do something cool"...

"What did she let you guys do?" I asked.

"We got to mark our own math test!" He exclaimed.

"Really? That's great."I responded.

"And the great thing is mom....I really,REALLY, really wanted to cheat, but I decided that wasn't the best thing to do! Isn't that cool?" he smiled.

"It sure is" I answered laughing.

So I'm proud to say my boy has a conscience!!

Later on, on the way back from hockey we had the following conversation.

"Gavin, what do you want Santa to bring you this year? I asked.

"Umm...not sure....I have a few things on the list, I'm trying to narrow it down."he replied.

"Well...what's the top things on your list?" I asked.

"Hmm.....a cellphone." he responded nonchalantly.

"A cellphone. Umm...Santa is not going to bring a seven year old a cell phone!" I stammered. (long gone are the days of trucks and games)

"Why not?" he asked.

"Well it's just not the type of thing Santa or mommy would like you to have!" I answered.

"Besides mom, sooner or later the big guy is gonna have to start keeping up with the times!" he smiled.

"And where did you hear such a phrase as that?I asked trying not to laugh.

"I heard it on family channel!" he smirked.

And just for the record Santa will not be bringing this seven year old a cellphone.

Oy!!

Hope everyone is warm and happy tonight!
