She's Not the Only Turd

C: (Playing with tape measure) Mommy, I measure 27 inches.*

M: (Busy hanging laundry) Getting big.

C: Mommy, you should say, "YOU ARE getting big."

M: Okay, you are getting big.

C: (could he sound any more condescending?) There you go.

My son, the grammar police.

*And yes, he is considerably taller than 27 inches.
