they love you... the next...

We were finishing dinner and Lucas was being cute eating his ice cream. Pernell was watching him and told Lucas, "My mom says you remind her of me when I was a boy even though you look like your mom."

Lucas responded, "Wha?"

Pernell repeated the same and Lucas raised his eyebrows, had a look of wonder in his eyes and said, "I look like my mom?"

Pernell says, "You sure do!"

(I am sitting across from Lucas still.) Lucas, "Dad, tell mom I hate her." and then he continues to eat his ice cream...

Pernell almost peed his pants laughing. Here I am, wounded and trying not to laugh at the glint in the poor boys eyes. Lucas really is cursed... he is like both Pernell and I when we were kids...

We turned out alright?
