A Quiet Conversation

On our way home from church today, Eric and Sean were talking quietly in the back of the van. (One of my favorite things to do is listen to their conversations.) I have no idea what they were playing but their conversation went something like this.

Sean: "Eric tomorrow is a special day!"

Eric: "I know!"

Sean (very matter-of-factly): "It is Thomas's birthday."

Eric: "Cool!"

Sean: "He is getting to be such a big engine!"

Eric (in his I'm-smarter-than-you tone): "Sean trains don't get bigger."

John and I just looked at each other and laughed.
