There Will Be No Cows Tonight!

Today was our second day of first grade and D was having a lot of fun. But at times he can really dilly dally and is always the last at the table for meals. I don't generally push him in school, but go at his comfortable pace; but today it was SLOW for awhile. Not because he couldn't do the work but because he enjoyed being slow.

I said, "Let's move it along buddy or we will be here until the cows come home!" (Naturally he hasn't an inkling of what this means! LOL)

D puckers his lips and (in a voice not unlike Old Mrs. Harris in Anne of Avonlea after reading Abraham Pringle's diaries stating that her husband was a cannibal, when she said, "My husband never 'et' anybody!"):

"There will be no cows tonight! We do not allow cows in our house!"

I laughed until I cried. It was not so much what he said but how he said it.
