I’m often amused by how my 3.5 yo boy sounds so much like an adult whenever he speaks. Here’s an amusing example from today:

Matthew found a fork in the living room and he immediately brought it to me. With a very serious look on his face, he asked me in a very stern tone:

Matthew: “Mommy, what is this doing here?”
Me: “Oh, I think it’s your brother’s doing.”
Matthew: “How long has this been here?”
Me: “Err. . . . I don’t know.”
Matthew: “Was Andrew playing with the fork or did he just drop it here?”

By then I just don’t know how to answer him. I felt like I was the child and he was a parent interrogating me!!! So I finally said, “Matthew, just put that fork in the sink.”

What a kid.
