Just Like Me

This evening's dinner table discussion was centered around the previous day's birth of a new cousin.

"I hope he's just like me," Ethan said.

"Yes, Ethan, you're a very kind boy," Ashley agreed, attempting to stave off what she evidently assumed would be Ethan's usual silliness.

I can't imagine why she would make such an audacious assumption.

"R i g h t.  That's what I meant, not, 'I'm going to take over the world and he'll be my little assistant.'"

Never mind.
