Don't Look, Ethel!

Mondays are often bizarre in the sense of getting back into a weekly routine; I don't believe our family is alone in this struggle. The cherry on top of the hot mess this particular Monday morning was the following discussion with Liam.

The Resident Eighth Grader is supposed to be getting dressed for school. He actually ate his breakfast in about 10 minutes, smashing all previous records into smithereens, heh. At the moment, however, he is sitting half in Bosley's fuzzy dog bed with clothing strewn around him on the floor.

Me: Liam, get off of the dog bed. You'll be covered in hair.

Liam: We are all covered in hair. We are mammals.

Me: ...

Liam: Are fish reptiles or just fish?

Me: *thinking I need more caffeine* I think just fish.

Liam: And what are birds?

Me: Just birds. Get your clothes on.

Liam (who is clearly my child as his brain pivots and he pulls the following quote from Ray Stevens): "And who's that with him? Ethel!? Getcher clothes on!"
