Sebastian is my six-year old and he says some of the funniest things–we have no idea where he gets his material since his mother and I are rather boring, serious people.
Sebastian came down the stairs crying as I was watching the game.
He sat on my lap, looking for some sympathy. Thank goodness for DVR or I would have kicked him to the curb.
Me: “What’s the matter?”
Seba: “I hurt my toe and Nathan stopped playing with me. He said I was ‘over-reacting’.”
Me: “Well what happened?”
Seba: “I hit my toe hard and it really hurt, so I started to cry.”
Me: “So were you over-reacting?”
Seba: “NO!”
I rubbed his foot for a while, until he was ready to go upstairs again. On his way upstairs, I called after him.
Me: “Sebastian, do you know what ‘over-reacting’ means?”
[Pause]
Seba (somewhat sheepishly): “no.”

been away on a trip, missed following my favorite blogs, glad to see Sebastian is in top shape, no matter how bad he hit his toe.
(loved the comment about the DVR and kicking him to the curb, made me almost spill my cappuccino)

Aww poor Seba. He didn’t know what over-reacting was but he just knew he wasn’t doing it!

He has a knack for knowing what things he shouldn’t be doing (but doing them anyway)….

He gets so mad when I take pictures of him sleeping, but I just can’t help it!

Your blog is going to be a lifelong source of embarrassment for him 😉

Yeah, he has already had a few people say to him: “So YOU’RE Sebastian–I’ve read so much about you!” And then they wait for him to say something funny….

Though he doesn’t know what exactly it means, at least he is sure that he wasn’t over-reacting, So what’s the big problem? 😛

Precisely. That is why I let it go–he still doesn’t know what it means, since I saw no reason to tell him….
