Kid Stuff: "Pecific" Theater

Thursday morning, ten minutes before departing for school:

Little Bro:  How many days are left in this week?

Big Bro:  It depends on what you consider the week to be.  It could run through Saturday or Sunday, or if you are talking about the school week . . . .

Mom (interrupting, because Little Bro is clearly getting frustrated):  There is one more school day left this week, honey.

Little Bro (overdramatically):  WHEW.  I am so glad to hear that.  I cannot wait for this week to be over.

Mom:  And that would be why?

Little Bro:  Because next week is BIG.  It's a NO DRESS CODE WEEK.  Because we raised enough money for the United Way, we get to wear whatever we want, ALL WEEK.

Mom:  Are you sure that you can wear anything?  Or are they going to have theme days, like Pajama Day?

Big Bro (AKA the "Know It All"):   Theme days.  It's always theme days.

Little Bro (now clearly beyond frustrated):  NO.  NOT THEME DAYS.  I PECIFICALLY ASKED MY TEACHER IF WE COULD WEAR WHATEVER WE WANTED, AND SHE PECIFICALLY SAID YES.

Little Bro makes me smile.  Pecifically when he is being emphatic.
