Frick and Frack
Demetrius is Frick, Maya is Frack. Frick runs a bit ahead of me as we get to the party, so he can try to work a parent to get into the house and see what toys Zack has. He runs up to Zack’s grandma, who is standing by the back door, half paying attention. Demetrius is about 4 feet in front of me.
Frick: Hey old lady, can I go in the house?
Grandma: Hello, who are you?
Daddy basically tackles Frick, has a quick talk, and Frick stands there, now looking to his left at the….snow cone machine!
Frack grabs Frick’s arm. “Demetrius! We don’t call that Grandma an old lady! It’s not nice!”
Frick: “Okay Maya, I want a snow cone!”
Yep, its official. The Crazy Grassos are at a birthday party.

As I have blogged, we are re-doing the upstairs. The office is about finished, and I’ve hooked up the new HD, 19 inch TV. Perfect for this room and our wants. Friday, as we were putting books on the new bookshelves, Demetrius comes in and sees the new TV. He, of course, has us immediately turn on Nickelodeon, and he says, “Daddy, lets watch a movie.”
I flat out lie: “Demetrius, this TV doesn’t have a movie player (It does, built into the side of the flat panel.) We can only watch TV on it.” Clearly, the boy is disappointed.
Fast forward to about 9pm on Saturday night. Our friends the Gossages are going home after coming over for dinner. We turn around and Demetrius is looking at the box the TV came in.
Frick: Daddy, you are a liar! I am right and you are wrong! See in this picture on the box, the TV does have a movie player! We can watch DVDs!
Daddy: Demetrius, were you going through the boxes to look at the TV box?
Frick: Yes, you are wrong, I was right. Can I watch a movie?
Sigh….
Haha! He certainly had your number!
