"mamas don't let your babies grow up to be cowboys..."

A few weeks back I walked into Levi's room to find his foam cowboy hat from Michael's ripped to shreds.  I quickly picked up all the evidence that Fonz left behind and stuck it in the trash before he walked in the room.  He probably wouldn't notice it was gone and I really didn't feel like dealing with a meltdown!

Fast forward a few weeks.  Levi and I were outside working in the garden or washing the car or something.  Out of the blue he asks "where's my cowboy hat?"...I cringed and said "I don't know" (oops...well, technically I don't know exactly where it is or what landfill it ended up in!). 

He sat there thinking....a couple seconds later....he said very matter-of-factly, "maybe Fonzie chewed it". 

"WHAT?", I thought to myself..."how does he know that?!"

He continued..."Maybe you threw it away".  Really? How in the world?!

Levi: "Maybe we can go to the store to get a new one". 

Me: "Sure, buddy".  Funny how he knew the truth without me even telling him!
