I'm Fine

"I'm fine" is my son's newest phrase. He uses this whenever he wants to tell me to leave him alone (which is most of the time).

When I find him climbing up the bookcase, he's "fine".

When I catch him standing in the fridge, he's "fine".

When he's eating every last piece of gum out of my purse, he's "fine".

When I stumble upon him standing in the kitchen sink getting his legs wet, he's "fine".

You get the idea.

This morning we had a late start (when school is out we often do). I was a little late to start preparations for breakfast. When I asked everyone what they wanted to eat Curtis responded, "I'm fine."

In addition to "leave me alone" I think he was also trying to tell me that he had the breakfast thing all figured out.
