Secondary Brain

Last night while driving Matt to basketball practice I had the following conversation...

Matt: Mom, what does 'pupil' mean?

Me: It's the black, center part of your eye.

Matt: It also means student.

Me: That's right! I forgot about that definition...

Matt: That's what you have kids for, to help you remember things you forget.

Me: Oh, (snickering inwardly...) so your going to remember everything I forget?

Matt: Well, all the things I've learned.

Me: That sounds good to me!

Matt: Yep! That's why you have kids... to have a secondary brain!

OK, so I was dying at this point! The secondary brain comment did me in... Although, I must say (sadly) I think he's right. He is becoming my Secondary Brain. I guess that was a perk of having children I never anticipated. I suppose it's only fair, seeing as how I was fairly good at remembering things before I had kids... Totally worth it trade off! Love my Matt!
