the hubby and decided to "surprise" the kid by taking him out to ihop for his birthday dinner tonight. when he has "surprised" us in the past, he conspires with the other parent to "go for a drive" and land us at the restaurant. I called as I was leaving work, and the hubby told the kid I said I wanted to go for a drive and thought I'd come by and pick them up so we all could enjoy the ride. the kid got a HUGE grin on his face and said, "that's a great idea. by the way, I'm not falling for it."
I took the scenic route to get there, but he says he still knew where we were going...
me: how'd you get so smart?
the kid: I'm seven.
me: so if we tried this when you were six, we could have pulled it off?
the kid: I'm not so sure about that. I was smart when I was six, too.
*sigh* I love that kid!
