So we bought the boys some Richard Scarry books at Costco the other day.  Grammy has a big Richard Scarry's Things That Go book at her house and the characters just crack them up...  and everyone knows I have a serious problem when it comes to buying new books!  Their favorite character is the cute and quirky Lowly the worm.  In one of the stories, Lowly is sitting on top of Huckle's dresser.  After he emptied ALL six drawers in his dresser and was using them as stairs, this is what transpired with Matthew yesterday...

Mommy:  Matthew, what in the world are you doing?
Matthew:  I'm climbin' up like Lowly mama.
Mommy:  You know you aren't allowed to climb on your dresser!
Matthew:  But no, I'm doin' it like Lowly!
Mommy:  Honey, just because Lowly can climb on his dresser doesn't mean you can.  Only Lowly can do that.  He's a worm.
Matthew:  But no, I'm a worm! 

We then sat down with the book and explored the differences between my dear sweet Matthew and Lowly the worm....

Mommy:  How many arms does Lowly have?
Matthew:  No arms.
Mommy:  How many arms do you have?
Matthew:  Two!
Mommy: How many feet does Lowly have?
Matthew:  One!
Mommy:  How many feet do you have?
Matthew:  Two!  I gots two!
Mommy:  See?  You can't be a worm.  You've got too many arms and legs.

10 minutes later he's climbing up his dresser steps again....

Mommy:  MATTHEW!
Matthew:  Mama, cut this foot off!  Then I'll be a worm!

Seriously kid?!  What do I say to that?!
