{While playing with a rollerblading Blue Clues toy at Great Grandma and Great Grandpa's house...}
I Man:  "Puppies don't skate."
Me:  "They don't?  Why not?"
I Man:  "They have to chew on bones!"

L:  "Dad, you shouldn't call sunglasses 'shades.'"
D:  "Why not?"
L:  "People will think you're weird!"

D:  "Guess what we're having for breakfast?"
I Man:  "What?"
D:  "Pancakes!"
I Man:  "Ooooh..."
D:  "Do you like pancakes?"
I Man:  "Yes, do you like pancakes?"
D:  "Yes I do."
I Man:  "Oh that's just wonderful!"

{After passing some obvious gas...}
Me:  "I Man, do you have to go stinky?"
I Man:  "Ummm, nope.  That was just my belly button making noise!"

L:  "When I grow up I'm going to be a chocolate cake baker."
I Man:  "When I grow up I'm gonna be a baseball guy."
L:  "That's good, then Dad can watch you on TV."

L:  "There's no tractors allowed here."
I Man:  "Uh huh, this tractor is too loud!"
L:  "No, that means there's no tractors allowed in here!"
I Man:  "THIS TRACTOR IS LOUD!"
{Don't worry I intervened at this point...}

L:  "Hey!  That's a pretty car!  It lights up when you drive it!"
Me:  "It's a police car."
L:  "Oh."

Me: "I Man is 2 1/2 today!"
L: "It's your 1/2 birthday, bud!"
I Man {looking at me}: "Are you makin' me a cake?"

{After sneezing twice without a reaction from anyone...}
L:  "No blessing L today, I guess!"

L:  "MOM, I saw a hummingbird!"
Me:  "You did?  What color was it?"
L:  "Um, orange and purple and certainly beautiful!"
