6 year old weight lifters

This is the conversation that took place in the back seat as I drove Ben and Ashton to school today:

Ashton hands Ben a birthday invitation and then says, "We are going bowling for my party."

Ben says, "I'm not very good at bowling."

Ashton says, "I am, and I'm really strong, I can lift twelve pounds by myself."

Ben pulls up his sleeve to show Ashton his muscle and says, "Me too, I've been working out at my Grandma's house."

Ashton then pulls his sleeve up and says, "I've been working out too."

The whole time I was trying not to burst out laughing in the front seat.

No one and nothing

I was watching a cartoon with Ben that posed the question, "What do you want to be when you grow up?" Ben looked at me and said, "When I grow up I want to be No one and do nothing, just like you!" I guess it's true, a mothers work is never done and never appreciated.
