Say what?

Like any kid who gets to watch too much TV while his baby brother naps and his mom job-searches online, Boy Wonder can quote from a variety of movies and shows. He appears to have inherited my prodigious memory, because he's very good at remembering exact quotes. This is usually sort of cute, and sometimes even quite funny.

And sometimes, it's utterly wacky. This morning, Boy Wonder was playing a game on my computer, and picked up one of his books that was sitting nearby. He assumed an air of nonchalance, leaned back, casually leafed through the book, and waited for the computer game to give one of its verbal prompts ("Remember, click on the animals that match!") before saying...

"Hel-LO. I'm picking out my prom dress."

There's just something amusing about an almost-four-year-old boy, wearing a glaring yellow T-shirt, red sweatpants, a red, gray, and white sweater, and socks printed with shamrocks, imitating a cartoon teenager who's picking out a prom dress.
