On a walk with S (4 yrs old) and our neighbor whose first name is Guy stopped to talk to us. After he left, this conversation ensued:
S: "Who was that?"
Me: "You know who that was, that's our neighbor Guy."
S: "No, what's his name?"
Me: "Guy."
S: "No, what is the man's name?"
Me: "I told you, his name is 'Guy'"
Our version of Who's On First.
S: "Mom, you didn't pack for Daddy."
My wife: "No, I didn't pack for Daddy. He's a grown up."
L: "He's a man"
S: "no, he's a ROCK STAR!"

This is how a conversation unfolded with my oldest:
L: "Daddy, I am 16 going on 17."
Me: "No you're not" (she's 8)
L: "I know but I wish I was."
Me: "I don't"
L: "Why not?"
Me: "Because that would mean there would be a boy 18 going on 19."
Tonight we were reviewing the Catechism question:
Me: "Q.15: By what sin did our first parents fall from their original condition? in other words, how did they first sin?"
E (who is 5): "Um... they had kids..."
The fall: after kids it's all downhill.

So I walked up behind E and poked her just to be silly. A conversation ensued:
E: "Dad!!!"
Me: "What? Why do you blame me? How do you know it was me?"
E: "I saw you, I have two eyes. If Mom has like a million eyes because when she's doing something she can still see me, then I can see you."
S got up from the dinner table. She's supposed to ask before she gets down.
Got to the living room and then she remember:
S: "Dad, can I get up?"
Better late than never?

The kids were playing Wii.
E: "L, do you know why their is scary music?"
L: "Why?"
E: "Because you're at a scary place."
It's Mario Party 8.
So E and I finished washing the dishes.
When we drained the sink, it made a really loud gurgling sound.
E: "What was that!?" --obviously thinking it sounded cool.
Me: "that was the sound of the sink draining."
E: "Cool, it sounded like burping and farting all in one."
Me: "So it sounded like daddy?"
E: "YEAH!"
We have cough & colds going through the house.
Tonight E said "Maybe I shouldn't play Wii, I have a cold."
I don't know we may have to run to the ER; it could be more serious than we thought. ;-)
Proverbs 22:6 "Train up a child in the way he should go; even when he is old he will not depart from it."
