Sean's tales from school.

Everyday when I pick Sean from school I ask him how his day was, what his teacher did in class that day and then quiz him about what he had for snack and lunch and if he took a nap. On the days that he doesn’t remember what was for lunch he'll say ' Rice and Chicken'. The first couple of times I believed him and then I started checking their lunch menu and most of time when its 'Taquitos' for lunch I think he doesn’t know what its called and rather than explaining he'll just say 'Rice & Chicken'. Yesterday when I picked him up he was playing with his friend Joseph. On our way home I asked him,

Seany, what did you do today?

Sean: I talk with Jophes (aka Joseph)
Me: What did you talk sean?
Sean: We talk a lot
Me: What did you talk?
Sean : Jophes said 'Choo Choo Train, Choo choo train'
Me: So what did you tell him?
Sean: I said 'Steam Engine, Steam Engine!'

I'm pretty sure their conversation was much more than that and instead of giving me all the details he just edited and gave me the 'Mommy rated' version. Anyways I thought the way he narrated it was hilarious and I almost burst out laughing but had it under control lest he thinks I'm making fun of him. I'm pretty sure all they talk about is fire trucks and choo trains and ambulances etc and maybe some times about their siblings (Joseph had a baby brother this summer and sean used to tell me that joseph's baby brother came to pick him from school. Sean used to get upset that his baby sister was not coming to pick him up) I still remember when we bought our van this summer, Sean wanted to go to school the next day to show it to his friends.

I guess, Boys will always be boys and i should enjoy his love for trucks and fire engines and all the other boy stuff. I'm sure I will appreciate it more when i get dragged into all the girly girl stuff that’s out there. Now, that SCARES me and Rhea is not even a year old..
