Mikey's 5 Commandments

Tonight while I was putting Mikey to bed,  he gave me this list:

Mikey: "Mom, do you know what the most importantest thing is? Keeping the commandments and choosing the right and having teeth."
Me: Really?
Mikey: "Yes, having teeth is importanter than importantness. (Pause) Actually there are 5 commandments: keeping the commandments, choosing the right, brushing your teeth and Jesus Christ."
(That's 4 but who's counting)?
"Mom, you should really pay attention to the teeth one because pretty soon yours are going to fall out."
Me:" Really? Mine?
Mikey: "Yeah because you're almost old."

A little background on the teeth: Today Mikey and I went to the dentist with Kate because she had a toothache and an abscess on a back molar. They had to pull two teeth. She did great but I don't think Mikey is interested in ever having that happen to him.

Mikey loves to use that phrase with almost any word: It's colder than coldness. It's uglier than ugliness. It's snowier than snowiness. I think it's pretty cute so I can't correct him quite yet. If he's still saying it in a few years, I'll deal with it.

Mikey with his buddy Pico. Pico's a pretty good sport.
