Funny kid

This afternoon I let the kids watch a movie in the van on the way to the gym. Not an unusual occurrence, especially when I just want a few minutes of quiet. But when we pulled in and I turned the van off, Joseph said "mom, thanks for letting us watch a movie on the short trip to the gym. " 

Ahh, hearing those unprompted words made my heart happy, so I turned to smile at him and tell him how happy it made me to hear that. 

I got out of the car, walked around to the other side to get him and Maddie out, when he followed up with, "you know what, Mom? Santa's always watching ."

I tried not to laugh as I agreed with him!
