This morning I woke up to “MOM! He puked on the couch” , which is a guaranteed way to get  me out of bed FAST. The couch was cleaned up and the sickly child was tossed into the tub to get cleaned, and we settled in for a lazy Sunday spent at home*.

I was on Facebook, and the TV was on Judge Judy reruns, for background noise. I thought the boys were playing their gameboys until a commercial for the treatments for Mesothelioma came on. All of a sudden my seven year old got excited!

“Hey look! That’s a real number we can call!!” he told us.

We asked him how he knew it was a real number and he said “All of the fake TV numbers start with 555!” he was so exicted, he wanted to call the number. We convinced him he was not allowed too, but he was pretty bummed out.

It’s cute though. You don;t think kids are paying that close attention to things, but the fact he was able to differentiate between the fake 555 and a real number brings it all home again.

*I am making a crock pot thingy today. I think its called pot roast? I dunno. I will update later with how it goes!
