I took Doc to the pediatrician on Friday for a follow up over an ear infection. He was nervous and we made jokes to lighten the mood. When the doctor stuck a light into his ear, I told him I could see it coming through the other ear and shining on the wall. He didn't miss a beat. He didn't turn his head or say I was making it up. He just grinned and raised two fingers in a peace sign and held them up to his other ear like they'd make a shadow on the wall.
That's not bad for five. All three of these boys have a quick sense of humor.
