Sponge Sam

Move on over, Sponge Bob!  There is a new animated character in town!  He may not be friends with a spatula or anything cool like that, but he sure is a sponge-roo just like you!  The first clue took place when  Sam was a-running into a birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese's the other night.  He blurted out, "Chuck E. Cheese is a proud sponsor of PBS kids!"  Oh my, oh my!  A little PBS Kids brainwashing perhaps...

Then the other day he said he didn't need to brush his teeth because he had "12 hour breath protection" from his awesome Colgate toothpaste and proceeded to recite the rest of the commercial in monotone just like the real announcer.  Um, thanks for that tip, Brooke Shields!  Should I send you the dental bills when he has cavities galore?

Ah, he also has pretty much memorized every Lego toy available and even some that are only available on Ebay, which he lists in rapid-fire succession to anyone will listen and even when they won't.  Apparently no else in the world took to the Lego Agent series but him, and they are of course the ones that are non-negotiable for his big bad birthday next week.  Hopefully the seller from God-knows-where actually has these items and will ship them in time.

A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.  As we drove by the Washington Monument today, Sam bellowed out, "There's the Empire State Building!"  Wrong city, but right on the mark for the tallest building around.  Scarily logical.

My favorite though is his entirely original thought he came up with the other day.  "Mommy, I love you eighty one hundred percent!"  Hold that thought!
