My Son is so Flippin' Cute

Said to me last night:
"Mommy, Mommy, we're in the 'embers!"
"We're in the WHAT???"
"The 'embers, Mommy! The 'embers are here!"
"Slow down, Bucket. What are you talking about?"
He stops. Looks at me. He simply cannot believe that mind reading is not on my resume.
"Mom, when the months end in "ember" that means we're getting close to Christmas!"
Ohhhh. SeptEMBER. OctOBER. NovEMBER. DecEMBER.
Yes, I guess we're in the 'embers now, aren't we?
My son is brilliant AND flippin' cute!
