Gem of the day

Most of the time, I can interpret Alex-ese with relative ease J. But just now he let one out that flummoxed me entirely, and I had to share.

 

The boys were outside hanging Christmas lights, and Alex came in shouting, “Mommy! Daddy needs a mustection board!”

 

“A what?”

 

“A mustection board!”

 

At that point I knew it was hopeless, so I stuck my head outside. “Christian, what do you need?”

 

“An extension cord,” he said.

 

Ah, these are the moments.
