like father...like son

when Peter was a little guy he went on a boat ride with his family. He claimed that on that...
"Mommy, I saw a fish and it was this big (as he stretched out his arms as far as they would go) and then I put my arms out (he puts his arms out in front of his body, connecting his hands to make a large circle) and the fish jumped right through it!" He spoke in all seriousness.
and
another story where Peter smashes eggs on the living room couch while his mom is in the shower and when she gets out and asks him what he has done (she finds him and Amy have put themselves in their naughty chairs). Peter says, "Mommy, there was a lion in the fridge and I had to let him out"
so, as I said, like father...like son
this afternoon Elijah was bustling about in his chair eating lunch and he fell. He got up started to fuss a little and said, "Mommy I hurt my leg playing soccer (meaning the owie he just got from falling off the chair). I was kicking the ball and I fall down. and I got the ball from mommy. and I got the ball from daddy...."
(this is not the first time he has fallen or gotten an owie that was not related to soccer and claimed it was a soccer injury, if I recall, last time it was during a game of baseball in our backyard!)

laugh laugh laugh, what else could I do! what a character.
