thing one

my first born (aged 4) is lovingly referred to as thing one around here, he is crazy and hyper (again: 4) and has wonderful messy curly hair. the other day he and i were trying to play a video game, with almost equal skill, and thing two (baby aged 8 months) started fussing. i glanced at the clock and realized we were past due for some nursing so i said to thing one, who was still staring raptly at the tv screen, "i can't do this right now buba, i have to feed the baby. do you want to do it?" he turned to me with a puzzled frown and said, lifting his shirt, "but i can't i just have little nipples." and was only more confused when i laughed hysterically for the next five minutes.
