Damon & His New Pal (Phil)

We have had some heat this week and are lucky enough to have pool set up in the backyard. Claire and Phil came over for a cool down and Damon didn't hesitate to join them. It seems that eveytime Phil is around, Damon spouts out some interesting comments.
While playing in the pool, Damon kept referring to Phil as "you." So Phil decided to clear things up and said, "oh, by the way my name is Phil." Damon replied: "Oh, thanks for warning me!"
Once Damon figured out Phil's name then came, "Hey.....I remember your name. I can say it 5 times.....watch! Phil, one. Phil, two. Phil, three. Phil, four. Phil, five. See!" (Good thing Damon counted it out, Claire and Phil probably would have lost track of how many times he said Phil's name).
He informed Claire and Phil that he had 20 girlfriends at church, but they were all sick with colds, coughs, etc. (This is news to me. I thought he only had his eyes on one or two.....not twenty).
Once everyone was done in the pool they came inside. Phil has been to our house before but Damon didn't remember that. He was quite hospitable and felt the need to treat Phil like he was part of the MTV Cribs crew, showing him all around the kitchen, and even inside the fridge. "Here's the oven so you can make hot food. Here's the fridge, we have grapes, apples, meat. That's the toaster. This is the microwave where you can heat up food to eat...........the garbage..............here's some towels to dry off your hands. Here are some knives, but they are sharp and can cut you very bad."
Phil was very gracious for his tour but just needed to use the bathroom. Unfortunately he couldn't use it until Damon gave him the run down. "This is the bathroom........You poop and pee there.........Here's the fan if you make it stink up in here..........Make sure you wash your hands and this water can get very hot so be careful..........Dry your hands with these towels here." After continuing on for a few more mintues Phil was finally able to use the bathroom.

Pullin' a Fast One

So our big grown up Damon still wears a diaper to bed. This week Josh explained to Damon for about the sixtieth time about how important it us to get up and use the toilet at night time, when you wake up, or whenever you gotta go. Damon was very serious during this talk and it seemed to sink in. Thursday morning he came to our room proudly with a dry diaper. Josh was so proud and pleased with Damon. Friday morning he had another dry diaper. Josh was so surprised Damon pulled it off two days in a row. I was downstairs making breakfast and Josh announced to me the great news. I was happy for Damon, but had a suspicion that things weren't quite what they seemed. I told Josh to check the garbage can in the kids bathroom. He headed back upstairs and then I heard him call to Damon. Josh came back downstairs a few minutes later and I asked if he had discovered anything. Sure enough he asked Damon what was in the garbage can and the conversation went like this:
Josh - "Hey Damon, I need your help opening up this garbage can. Can you help me out?"
Damon - "Yeah sure dad!"
Josh - "What's this in here?"
Damon - "Oh dad, that's just garbage."
Josh - "Looks like a diaper."
Damon - "Yeah, that's my diaper."
Damon thinks this is his new found talent. He tries to be sneaky and thinks that lame old mom and dad won't catch on to his weasel ways. Unfortunately Damon is new to this game and mom and dad have him all figured it. It is funny to listen to him try and pull a fast one over us.
