sneaky boy.

Mom: "you need to go read your book for school Brad."

Brad: a couple minutes later..." Mom, I hate reading."

Mom: "what? why do you hate it?"

Brad: "Because it just means that I am getting older. The bigger the words the older I get."

Mom: "what's wrong with that, B? It just means you are learning and getting smart..."

Brad: "Yeah, but if I keep getting older then it will be time for you to die. And I don't want you to die mom."

Mom: *laughing* "B. seriously, I love you. You crack me up.."

Brad: *while giving me a hug* "so... do I still have to read my book?"
