Mikey's Recent Gun Fetish

So, Mikey has been playing with legos a lot lately, but he pretty much uses them exclusively to make guns. Upon walking in and having him demonstrate his most recent huge and ridiculously intricate creation, the following conversation ensued:

Lance: What's with this gun fetish? Why do you keep making all these guns?
Mikey: I love guns.
Lance: Mama doesn't love guns (anyone who knows Kristy knows how much of an understatement this is).
Mikey: That's because Mom's a girl. You have to be a boy to love guns.

For all those female gun enthusiasts out there, he didn't get such primaevil and sexist ideas from me. Cute kid, though.

Awesome Shoes

Mikey just got a new pair of "awesome" shoes. He was so excited to wear them to school for the first time and told me how he was going to show his teacher and friends. So after he returned home we were talking. I asked him if he showed his teacher. He paused...then:

Mikey: "Oh no. I forgot."
Me: "That's okay, you can show her next time. Did you show Zach?"
Mikey (with a bit of attitude): "Uh. Yeah!"
Me: "Did he like them?"
He stopped and just looked at me for a second. Then...
Mikey (with even more attitude): "Mom. Why would Zach NOT like AWESOME shoes?"

I really couldn't think of a good reason.
I don't know where he gets this stuff.
