Nate (seeing another silver Honda CR-V): "Look mommy, it's a twin to our car!"
Laura: "There are two kinds of twins. Identical twins look exactly alike - same hair, same eyes, same everything. That car is our identical twin. Fraternal twins do not look alike."
Nate: "Me and Alex are fraternal twins."
Alex: "Different eyes, different hair, fraternal."
Nate: "Well we have different eyes and different hair but everything else is the same. EVERYTHING else is the same."
Laura: "Wah wah what??? What else is the same?????" (noting to self: sleep patterns, eating patterns, extroversion/introversion patterns, not looking anything alike at all, etc)
Nate: "I TOLD YOU! EVERYTHING. IS. THE. SAME! Don't you ever listen to me?"
Alex: "Yeah mommy, you need to turn on your listening ears."

Don't you know everything is the same because they changed the definition of same to different?!

Mine sure does, anyway! ha!
LOL! Our AM car conversation was all about nuns b/c Lana is into the Sound of Music.
Ha. I am cracking up at both the post and the comments so far.
Turn on your listening ears indeed Laura! Good to know I have a few years before that phrase comes back to bite me. We use that one a lot right now!
LOL!
Don't you know our kids are smarter than us?
"Mom you are not listening to me!" I hear that a few times a week. The truth is they don't want to hear what I have to say. Sometimes you just can't convince them.
