Carson, who has always been more of a fringe sports fan, has been very into the Olympics this year. He gets so excited cheering for the U.S. Team and especially cheering for Michael Phelps. After Phelps’ swim tonight I was screaming “How did he do that? How did he do that?” Carson looks at me and says “Mom, he swam faster.” Well, why didn’t I think of that?
He’s way ahead of you, sis.
(I was going to mention that maybe rhetoric wasn’t yet in his bag of tricks, but a little dictionary digging left me unsure if “rhetoric” had anything at all to do with “rhetorical.”)
