The comments, Qs, and As of a 3-and-a-quarter year old.
At "Scooter Club" tonight, when talking about caring:
Q: "How does your mama show you she loves you?"
A: "She plays trains for one (hold up finger) minute."
Q: "How does your daddy show you he loves you?"
A: "He plays trains for TWO (hold up fingers) minutes."
(teacher whispers an aside to me - "I know how it is. I play Star Wars.")
While reading a book last night:
Q: "Mama, did I come from your tummy, like Baby Perrin?"
A: "No, honey. There is a special lady in Russia and you were in her tummy, and when she went to the hospital and you were born, they called me and Daddy to tell us to come get you."
Q: "What was her name?"
A: I tell him.
Comment: "Oh, I see." and a long pause as he takes it in. Then:
Q: "Did you and Daddy swim at the hotel in Russia?"
(I try hard not to laugh.)
