prince charming flirts with the dark side

By way of an update to my Prince Charming post...

Owen is experimenting with the word stupid.
I am not sure how a 2 year old processes these things but he has been trying it out on me. It goes something like this...

We are sitting at the table for lunch. Owen sits on one side of me and Audrey on the other. When I am turned away from Owen to help Audrey I hear... "stupid mama" - said under his breath as he looks at me from the corner of his eye with is head almost bowed (if you know Owen you know this look). I turned to him - as if I didn't hear and said, "Excuse me Owen" - not wanting him to see me be reactionary just yet. He says, "I luff you Mama!"

I could barely contain my laughter - which Mark and I shared whole heartedly at bedtime. O, the adventures of the 2-year-old's heart and mind - what a torrent it must be.
