Overheard at the Baseball Game...

LegalMist's Son (LMS): That little kid is stealing that bat!

LegalMist's Husband (LMH): The one over there with the helmet on?

LMS: Yeah, him! Why is he taking the bat?!?!

LMH: He's supposed to. He's the bat boy!

LMS: What's a bat boy...?

LMH: He's Batman's son, of course.

LMS: Dad! You're an idiot!! [Looks at me] Is that true, Mom, is he really Batman's son?

Me: Oh, absolutely... Batman's son....

[After all, the parenting magazines do say you should back up your spouse when your kids are questioning their authority...]

* * * * * *

He'll be the only kid in his class who knows *this* particular fact....

I seem to following Scope around this morning, so I'll just ditto his comment!

Totally Batman's son. Who else would he be?

I can't recall why it came up, but I've pretty much convinced my friend's newly-8 girl that after college, she'll become a pigeon. What is wrong with us?

That sounds like something we'd come up with in our house! I think Karma will catch up with us one day.

Oh the joys of being a parent! It wouldn't be any fun if we didn't get to mess them up once in a while!
