We call you “Silly Willy!”

This is what we say to Will whenever he’s being silly, so I thought it was an appropriate title for this post about a couple of funny things Will has said in the last 24 hours.  Last night, Will was playing on the floor and talking to himself, and we heard him say, “I will call you ’stupid’!”  Stupid is not a word that is allowed in our house (except that Mommy and Grandpa forget sometimes), so Noel intervened and the conversation went like this:

Noel:  Will, what did you say?!?

Will (deer in headlights look):  Something else.

Noel:  No, what did you say?

Will:  Just me.

Noel:  Will, tell me the truth.  What did you say?

Will:  Nothing.

I think Noel finally got the truth out of him, but I wouldn’t know for sure because I had to leave the room with my shoulders shaking with laughter.  (So much for the lessons of BSF that day about not tolerating sin.  I know it was a lie, but the “something else” just got me!)

And overheard in the backseat today after picking up the boys from school:

Christopher:  Will, what did you learn about today?

Will:  Nothing.

Christopher:  You learned about nothing?

Will:  I learned about snack.

That’s my little academic!
