We were eating at Winger's when my seven-year-old, watching the widescreen above my head, asked us, "Why does everyone jump on each other in football?" It was then that I realized she's never seen football before!
Three-year-old: "You don't want your little angel to get hurt/cold/hungry/lost/run over/etc..."
My two-year-old son began with"no" being the answer to everything, even when he meant yes. When he started saying "yeth," interrogations with him became much less confusing. Then he went to a slow deliberate nod, no words...but the phase he's in right now is my favorite so far: "Um...(pausing to think) sure!" Dinnertime makes me laugh. "Do you want more milk?" "Um...sure!" "Do you want more bread?" "Um...sure." You get the idea.
Seven-year-old: "Mom, what is that stomping sound?" (Mom: "Oh, that's someone listening to loud music.")
Apparently my three-year-old didn't realize she was being quizzed on letter sounds by her big sister because when asked, "What sound does B make?" she said, "Bzzzzzzzzz...."
Two-year-old: "MOoooOm; Wheh ah you?" Or when I call him he often says, "I comin'!" (I guess it's good we don't live in a bigger house, yes?)
My six-week-old baby now gurgles and goos and sometimes even says "Wow." He always talks to me with a smile on his little lips. Wouldn't it be nice if everyone did that?

Love the Quoting the Cute! I've never heard of Wingers...could it be a western U.S. restaurant?
I guess so...It's a good place: yummy sweet & spicy sauces, kid friendly, not too expensive...
