why should she be the only one who gets to blog about the kids?

here’s an unadulterated transcript of a conversation i had with bassie today:
T: … no you can’t watch a movie before bedtime, you’ve already had a lot of treats today, and in a minute you’re going to get another treat of tatti bedtime
B: that’s not a treat, i like mommy bedtime better
T: [incredulously] what!?!?
B: …because i love mommy more than you
T: ouch.
B: don’t worry…i love you a lot, but i love mommy more
T: that makes me sad
B: … because i love you infinitely and i love mommy more than infinitely
T: oh, so you love me like aleph-0 and mommy like aleph-1?
B: no, actually, i love you like aleph-1, and mommy like aleph-2
T: hmm…you could have at least said you love me like aleph-1 and mommy like c.
B: no, i said what i mean.
