Matthew Monday: Boring and Mother’s Day Card

Two quick takes.

I

Matthew is getting into the habit of a one word reply when he doesn’t prefer something.

“Matthew, you’re having cereal and milk for breakfast.”

“Boring.”

Matthew, it’s chicken fingers for lunch.”

“Boring.”

“Matthew, clean up your room.”

“Boring.”

"We're going to read a bedtime story."
"Which one?"
"Pinocchio."
"Boring."

Is everything other than a rockem-sockem superhero fight boring to a five year old boy?

II

Matthew was told to write a Happy Mother’s Day card for his grandmother. 

“How do you spell it?”

“Sound it out.”

He did.  He spelled it: “Hap Mothers Dey.”

So I asked my wife how does “Hap” sound out to “Happy?”

“Easy: Ha-pee”
