Wise Man

Today, talking to my little man, I informed him that tomorrow is his Melly's birthday.  Melly is what we call my mom because Grandma or Nana just don't work for her.  Anyway, tomorrow is her birthday and I asked my son what we should get her.  I expected Angry Birds for the iPad, or a new Wii game, or tickets to Monster Jam to be his suggestion.  I was anxious to see what he would say.  With all the resolve of a confident, grown man, he looked at me and said, "Jewelry."  He went on to explain to me that ladies like jewelry.  He delivered this information with an expression that said "You should know this, Mom.", but he spared those actual words.    I then gave him a big, big hug and  I offered him Legos in exchange for him having this enlightening talk with his father.
