This morning Zach is play Guitar Hero III on the Wii. Jaden is watching. Here's their exchange.

Zach: "I've been trying to get this song since I was one [year old]!"

Jaden: "You didn't have guitar hero when you were one!"

Zach: (not missing a beat in the song0 "Figure of speech Jaden. Figure of speech."

This of course cracked me up.

Especially since there is a running joke in our family about hyperbole.
Zach learned about hyperbole in school and when I discovered this, I started using it more. Which comes a bit naturally to me.

I use hyperbole in every sentence.

So now anytime someone says an exaggeration one of my boys says, "Hyperbole!"
Good times.
