A Matthew Story...

Matthew is by far the funniest person in our family. I always forget the goofy things he does and says, but I have to write this one down.

Today, I picked him up from church in his preschool class. The teacher said "Matt, your mom is here." I just rolled my eyes... I hate when people assume that a Matthew is Matt. Well, then they get his work that he made and it all said "Matt" on it. We get his stuff and step out of the room and he (while giggling to himself) says, "look Mommy, my name doesn't have the 'hew' on the end of it." I told him that he was old enough to tell people his name is Matthew when they say it wrong.

Well, then he confesses. The teachers asked him if he was Matthew or Matt and he told them is name was MATT. What a stinker! He was so proud of himself and could not stop giggling when he told me. I asked why he told them that and he said, "I just wanted to be Matt." This is such a typical Matthew moment and Rick and I have laughed about it all day. The funny thing is, he probably doesn't realize that Matt is short for Matthew. If they had asked him, "do you go by Bob or Matthew" he would have said Bob. So funny.
