Why not?

Boy Wonder comes running out from getting ready for bed and grabs a pot from the cabinet, drops it on the living room floor and starts tap-dancing around it.  "Watch this!" 
Dad says: "Wow--you should watch the dance scene from that movie, White Knights"
Mom shows it from youtube.  A remarkable imitation of Gregory Hinds follows for 15 minutes. 
Then Boy Wonder comes into the kitchen and says, "I need a dance court.  Is there a room in the house we're not really using? ..."  And then, IN complete seriousness. "How about if we move the laundry outside?" 
I, being a mom that goes to great lengths to appease her child and his endless imagination says,
"Uh-NO." 
IN complete seriousness: "Why not?"
I finished the day by delicately agreeing he was the "best dancer of our time" and still being truthful.

"Doin' Time"

Mom:  Did you talk about Thanksgiving today at school?

Yeah, we're doing time.

Good thing I had already read the teacher's daily update about them studying timelines.

How sweet it would be!

"Wouldn't it be great if sugar still tasted like sugar, but it had protein in it? "

The converse is true?

You know how we teach our young kids not to call their parents by our first names?  Apparently, the converse is true:

Dad to son:  Mom said she wanted you to do that later.
Son:  That's "Lynn"  to you!

So Many Thanks!

I just don't know how much to thank you mom and dad for taking me to the Science Center.  Maybe 10 times 100 kabillion.  What's bigger--kabillion or kazillion?

Daddies

Hey Mom.  I know it's not true, but it seems like Daddy is changing into Grandma and Grandpa's Dad.

"Reinforcements, please!"

So, God can do anything right?

Mom:  Yes, that's true.

Then he could even like sin if he wanted to.

Mom:  Uh, yes, well, no, technically he's perfect and can't..., um...let's ask Dad and pastor.

Or, we could check in the Bible.

Mom:  Yes, we could do that.
