OT: What amazing thing has your kid said? Options

[airsix]

Way off topic, but I had to share. My 2.5 year old daughter just keeps flooring me with the things she says. A few weeks ago she was trying to balance on the arm of a small chair, gave up, and said "That chair isn't stable enough". (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif) Jamie and I were stunned and asked her "What does 'not stable' mean?" She said "It's about things that are going to fall down"

Tonight she said "What are you looking at". I said "Lathes and mills". She said "I want a mill." I said "And what would you do with a mill?" She said "I want to use it to make toys for my dollies." (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ohmy.gif)

I'm just wondering how long is it going to take for my kids to figure out they are smarter than me. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif)

Well.

While divorcing, two years ago, on one of the weekends I had my children (then a 7yo boy, a 4 yo girl and a 3 yo boy), my daughter is weepy "because I miss mommy."

"I know sweetheart, but you will go back to her tomorrow."

"I miss her now."

"I know love, but this is daddy's weekend and it is important we see each other; I do not get all that much time with you. You will go back to mom's house tomorrow and will see her then."

"OK."

Not being able to leave well enough alone, in classic insecure divorced dad fashion, I have to ask "when you are with mommy, do you miss me?"

Without missing a beat and no hesitation, she looks me straight in the eye and says "I pretend to" and grins.
