After wrestling practice one night, Calvin refused to put his shirt back on because he wanted to show off. He kept talking about how much he loves wrestling.
Dad told him that's good, that shows him how tough Calvin is because "tough guys wrestle."
Aiden disagreed, however: "I'm a wimp and I wrestle."

Aiden has some confidence issues
In a recent discussion about how often kids get recess and their grades, dad tried to show off a bit. He pointed out that when he was in school they got recess more often, but that their test scores were higher.
It was suggested that kids that get good grades should get to have more recess as reward.
Aiden didn't seem to like this idea, as he pointed out, "I'm dumb and I still get to have recess."

Hard to please at breakfast
Dad: We have Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Banana Nut Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Lucky Charms. What do you want for breakfast?
Calvin: Fruit Loops.
Dad: We don’t have Fruit Loops.
Calvin: What do we have?
Dad: Okay, we have Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Banana Nut Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Lucky Charms.
Calvin: Fine, I’ll just have toast.
Dad got groceries that night and made sure to bring home the Fruit Loops. The next morning he was sure would go more smoothly.
Dad: Calvin, we have Fruit Loops.
Calvin: So?
Dad: You asked for Fruit Loops yesterday.
Calvin: No I didn’t. I asked for Fruity Pebbles.
Dad: You said Fruit Loops and I got Fruit Loops. Don’t you like Fruit Loops.
Calvin: I like them – I don’t want them. Do we have Fruity Pebbles?
Dad: No, we have Cinnamon Toast Crunch, etc.
Calvin: (angry) Fine, I’ll just have toast.
Calvin: Fruit Loops.
Dad: We don’t have Fruit Loops.
Calvin: What do we have?
Dad: Okay, we have Cinnamon Toast Crunch, Banana Nut Crunch, Peanut Butter Crunch, and Lucky Charms.

Would it be better if it were true?
While out visiting some family today, Calvin let his mother know that after the kids went to bed, the movie his parents watched was too loud. "I didn't want to wake up Aiden by yelling at you guys to turn it down, though, so I got out of bed and got some underwear to put on my head," he explained. "Then, when I heard you guys go to bed, I took it off and hid it under my pillow."
When they got back home, Halei decided to check and see if the underwear was still there. She couldn't find any in the bed, so she asked Calvin about it.
"Yeah, I just made all that up."
