Ethan came downstairs this morning and seemed a little out of sorts. We asked him if he could go up and get dressed for school and this is the conversation that ensued.
Steve - E, go get dressed for school and then you can eat breakfast.
Ethan - (voice a little wobbly) But I already went to school.
Steve - What? You haven't gone to school. You just woke up!
Ethan - (now with a tremor in his voice) But I did already go to school, Dad!
Steve - What?!?!?!
Ethan - (chin totally quivering now!!!) I did, Dad!!! I did go to school. Then I went to bed. Then I woke up. And then the clock just started going backwards!!!! I'VE ALREADY BEEN THROUG THIS WHOLE DAY!!!!
Steve - Oh, like Groundhog Day?
Ethan - (now crying in confusion and frustration, climbs on my lap and whimpers) I already DID today!!!!
Poor kid! Apparently we've been watching too many Christmas specials with Huey, Duey & Louie getting stuck on Christmas Day...or other cheesy Christmas movies!!! My poor kiddo was beside himself with confusion!!! It did make for a pretty funny conversation though! He was convinced that he had seen the clock turn backwards!!!
Funny, how I kept thinking how NICE it would be to have an extra day to get a few things done!!! Maybe that should be my Christmas wish!!!
