Sleepless in Levittown

Wyeth: Mom, can we just skip going to bed tonight?
Me: Not tonight, no. You have to wait until you go to college for that.
Wyeth: I don't have to sleep in college? Do I even have to lie down?
Me: Nope, not if you don't want to.
(Pause)
Wyeth: When can I go to college?

Growing up

Wyeth to me at age 4.5

"Mom, now that I'm growing up, I don't really think having gas is that funny anymore."

Ok. I guess that is good...

"But I do think poop, pee and my penis are still really funny."


Oh, maturity.
