My boys are so easy to entertain. Jonathan is at a hockey game with some friends tonight, so it's just me and the wee ones. I took the kids to Blockbuster to let them choose a movie to rent, and OH MY goodness you would have thought we were at Six Flags. With some nudging from me (Oh wow! Look at this totally awesome one!), they finally selected The Lady and the Tramp. This was after they had picked up what had to have been every movie in the family section and "discussed" it with each other:
Ryan: Oh...I remember this one. We watched it once at Papaw's house. Remember?
Dylan: Yeah.
Ryan: And this one over here looks too....babyish.
Dylan. Yeah. It's for babies.
Ryan: [picking up another movie] Hmmmmm....this one looks like it might be too scary for us. What do you think?
Dylan: Uh-huh [picking up a Barbie movie]
Ryan: DYLAN!!! Put that back! That is for girls!
Dylan: EWWW! [throwing it down dramatically, because it's obviously covered in girl cooties]
After Blockbuster we went to Brookshire's grocery store, and I let them each pick out a frozen "Kid Cuisine" for dinner. It was such a study in their individual natures: Dylan reached in and picked out the first one he saw; the chocolate pudding side dish caught his eye and captured his heart. Ryan, on the other hand, stood with the freezer door open studying each frozen dinner box for so long I feared hypothermia might set in.
