Kids Say the Darndest Things

Kids crack me up. The following two conversations both took place within fifteen minutes of me waking up this morning.

Conversation #1: (background: we're going to a craft show later this morning; but like so many of the things we do on the weekends, it doesn't open until 10:00)

Sammy: "What we doing today?"

Me: "We're going to a craft show but it's not open yet. You wake up so early that nothing's open when you get up."

Sammy: repeating, "Nothing open." Then: "But my eyes are open!"

Conversation #2: (background: Natalie had a dirty diaper and I had just changed her)

Sammy: "Where Nye peanut go?"

Me: "Huh?"

Sammy: "Where Nye peanut....penis go?"

Me: laughing, "Well, she's a girl and she doesn't have one."

Sammy, chasing Nye who's crawling away, and pulling down the back of her diaper to check the way that I check for poop: "Let me check, Nye. Nope, no penis."
