that's what he said

"My ear hurts."

*****
"Can I wear my Spiderman jammies to school?
(not five minutes later, through wailing tears)
But I don't want to wear my Spiderman jammies to school!"

*****
"My hands are kind of freezing."

*****
(at 11:30 pm last night, emerging quietly from his room and whispering)
"Mom? There's a bug in my room and it's crawling all over everything and it's driving me crazy."
