Seems like everyday they have a conversation based around their endless play-adventures which cracks us up. Yesterday, Ava was conducting a chat between two reindeers...
R1: "Why are you sitting down, we have so much to do!"R2: "Haven't you heard? Christmas is cancelled because all the children have been turned into SKELETONS!"
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 23 January 2011 13:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Right now, they're dangling their Lego Bionicles over the banister on the stairs (on string/ribbon which Ava appears to have knotted herself) and are talking to each other in robot voices. They've been doing this for HALF AN HOUR. Oh, and now it's a robot sea shanty.

Beeps and I were at McDonald's on Saturday where an employee (who was young and, as I would reluctantly point out, a bit dimwitted) came by our table. He asked how old she was and I told him almost four. Then he asked if I was her grandfather.
Now, I had gone out and stayed past curfew for the first time in awhile the night before. I was unshaven, wearing my glasses and a checkered flannel shirt. But man, even from someone who appeared to not be all there, it kind of hit hard. Even after the guy moseyed on, Beeps picked up on it right away.
B: "That man said you were my grandfather."PP: "Yes, I heard him."
OLD WOMAN IN BOOTH BEHIND US: "It's okay! You don't look that old!"
Anyway. I think Beeps thinks she's found something useful to use in conversation. Like yesterday, as we were getting ready for me to take her and her little brother over to my dad's house.
B: "Where are we going?"PP: "You're going to spend the afternoon with your grandparents."B: "I'm going to spend the afternoon with you?"PP: "I'm not your grandfather!"B: "Well, everyone says you are."
From upstairs, I could hear Sunny exploding with laughter. She's the one who transcribed the above conversation.

Not quite as bad, but from Howie who'd drawn a picture of his family the other day: "That one is Daddy, that one is Howie and that one is Archie. And that one (points at short stumpy one) is you, Mummy, because you are very short."

During a conversation about where babies come from:
Howie: "When me and Archie were in your tummy we played lots of games together."Me: "I don't think you were in my tummy at the same time as Archie. You came out two years earlier."Howie (brightly): "That means I won!"

Ah, but ...
I was explaining the whole "eggs in mummy's tummy" business.Alice: "But how did the eggs get there?"Me: "They were all there when Mummy was born"Alice: "hmm. So, that means My egg and Amber's egg are exactly the same age"Me: ".... yeah!"Alice: (saying nothing, but now has decided Amber doesn't have 2 years superiority anymore)― Mark G, Friday, 13 February 2009 11:10 (2 years ago) Bookmark Suggest Ban Permalink

Lulu made a sort of dog today, from crepe paper and plastic. "Daddy, he's very strong and if you try to break him, he will set you on fire." "Wow, what's his name?" (pause) "His name is If You Try To Break Him He Will Set You On Fire."

not a sentence, but this morning my son did a gigantic poo in his potty (he is potty training) and disappeared behind the door on his way to empty it out in the toilet - he came back a second later kind of grinning and held up his hand for a high-five

haha. i am scared of potty training, but i guess we'll have to get going on it soon. our friends with a slightly older kid did this potty training "boot camp" kind of thing where it was like an intense weekend of not leaving the house ... which sounded terrible, but it seems to have worked? anyhoo, my daughter's main verbal thing now is "book-a-book-a-book-a!" repeated over and over when she wants to read a book. or read another book.

> "I hope Godzilla's okay."
don't let him watch the very first godzilla film - they explode all the oxygen in the water where he is and the last thing you see is his ribcage settling on the bottom.
luckily for the franchise this is followed by a scientist saying that further nuclear testing could easily produce more godzillas.
