Mini-Me's Mouth

When I say "Mini-Me" here, I'm referring to the Boy Me, not the Girl Me. Really, everyone has so many different opinions about which child looks like me or like Ike that I've solved it like this: the one being cuter at the time is mine.

So, Jake (mine for the time being) has started saying these things that sound familiar. Weirdly familiar, like he's talking out of the voices from my head. Oh wait, I think it's because he sounds JUST LIKE ME.

Yesterday while dropping a friend off after karate, I got out of the car to walk Friend to the door and talk to Friend's Mom. I left the air on and could see the car, I didn't go inside the house, I talked to her for maybe 2 minutes. When I got back to the car, Jake said, "Finally, you're back!" I asked if I took too long and he said, "It's hot and I'm only burning to death here."

Is that little Mini-Me hyperbole I hear from the backseat??

So then a few minutes ago, I said something to Jake that he either didn't hear or (more likely because it was about cleaning his room) that he didn't want to hear. He came back to me and said, "Pardon me?" with an attitude like... oh. Like me.

I choose to ignore it. These things will make him so darn witty someday...
