L2 (age 7): Somethings are cooler than a belt. Like God. A belt is cool. God is better.
Animals or fruit?
We were driving through NM when I spied a herd of pronghorn antelope. I pointed them out to the boys and told them what they were.
L3 (5yrs): I know of a food called cantaloupe. Is that the same thing?
Reading Slug
L2 (7yrs old) triumphantly, pushing back his empty cereal bowl: The reading slug is done!
Me: The reading slug?
L2: The reading slug!
Me: What’s a reading slug?
L2: Didn’t you say that one of your sisters was a reading slug and you tried to coax her outside to play with you but she just wanted to read?
Me: Ahh… a bookworm!
