We had to get to school a little earlier this morning so he could eat breakfast. The reason? He woke up at 7:19! Here's how the conversation went:
Mimi: 7:19! Wow -- you didn't have time for anything except getting dressed!
Aiden: Yes, getting dressed and brushing my teeth. I haven't brushed them in five days (an exaggeration on his part, but he's five so ...).
M: Well, if you don't brush your teeth, they're going to fall out.
A: No, they're stuck in there really good. First I put glue, and then I put duct tape. Duct tape fixes everything and keeps it from falling apart forever.
M: Okay then, why didn't they use duct tape when you broke your arm?
A: It doesn't work that way.
And now you know.

Aiden gives advice...
...and he gives it on a regular basis. Sometimes it borders on lectures, but he always tries to deliver it with a smile to soften the blow.
After a while, I realized that I was doing a great disservice to the friends and family by not passing on his sage wisdom, so this is my attempt at that. Most posts will describe our talks to and from Erma Nash Elementary School in Mansfield, Texas, where he is a very bright 5-year-old Kindergartener.
