it's the phil, momma.

pratt: "everything is so green outside, momma."

me: "i know.  that's what happens in the spring.  everything comes back to life.  and the weather starts to warm up.  and flowers start to bloom.  and everything is more green."

pratt: "it's the phil, huh momma?"

me: "the phil?  i don't know what that is.  dr. phil?"

pratt: "no.  the phil in the grass.  that makes it green.  that gets on my fingers and makes them green too.  the phil, momma.  the phil."

me: "um, yes.  the chlorophyll.  in the plants.  that's what makes your fingers green."

he never forgets ANYTHING.  i told him this like 3 days ago.  why does he remember everything?  this is going to get ugly when he's a wee bit older and starts repeating other things i say.  and shouldn't say.

but on the upside...emily watts, please walk over and tell tim knight that my child has dibs on teaching zoology lab come 2027.  and that maybe he'll meet his wife in that lab.  i just hope for everyone's sake that his wife isn't wearing cut off camo shorts and a wife beater.  and that she DOESN'T have sideburns.

but i mean, come on...that look totally worked for his daddy :)
