I really am …

Geof was over visiting one night last week and was down on the floor with Eli. Something had gone under the couch, and Eli and Geof were trying to fetch it out with one of Eli’s drum stick. Eli waved the stick around. “Don’t stick that up my nose or anything,” Geof joked. Immediately Eli jabbed at Geof’s face with his stick, earning him some couch time.

So pay attention, everyone: DON’T TELL HIM THINGS LIKE THAT.

Or if you’re going to do it anyway, make sure it’ll be entertaining for the rest of us to watch.

I thought it was really funny for a second, and then I realized that Eli was going to get in trouble for what he’d just done. Poor guy!
