Lunch conversation

The boys have minds like steel traps.  You tell them something one time and they will remember it.  A couple weeks ago, Gus mentioned sleeping on the trampoline and, boy, did Sam's ears perk up!  He asked if he (Sam) could sleep on the trampoline.  I said "No, you have to be big before you can spend the night on the trampoline."  Well, today at lunch, out of the blue, Sam says, "Mom, Sam almost big trampoline sleep.  Drew almost big trampoline sleep. Gus big trampoline sleep."  Then he repeats this word for word two more times.  I had to hold back my laughter because he only said the important words but also because he was so serious.  He wanted to make sure that I knew he hadn't forgotten the rules.
