French for poop

My mother-in-law watched the boys a few weeks ago while we went out for our anniversay. She told me how she was talking about "bowel movement," which I am sure was because J2 pooped for the 10th time that day. J1 said "Bowel movement, is that French for poop?"

ah....imagination!

J1 was playing in the living room this morning and told me he was on a rescue helicopter because the ambulance was unavailable. When asked why he needed the helicopter, he reported "Because I was hurt really bad." When asked what happened, he told me he had gotten hurt by a volcano that was "interrupting."
Pesky, interrupting volcanos.

I am raising quite the foodie!

J1: Mom, my favorite kind of cheese is grilled.

theological dinner conversations

Interesting conversation at dinner tonite:

J: Jesus has a mom named Mary and a dad named Joseph.
Me: I thought God was Jesus' dad.
J: No! God is his grandpa!
Me: Really? Where did you hear that?
J: Nowhere, I just made it up.

There is so much commentary could add, but will refrain from.

sharing is nice.

J: When I go to work, I will go to the bank on Tuesday and Saturday.
Me: Oh, you want to work in a bank? What will you do there?
J: I will give people money, if they don't have any.

ah, labels....

J the elder has decided he wants to be a Native American for Halloween. I have to admit, DH and I were not sure how to handle this; we don't want to be buying into any stereotypes or anything like that. We finally decided, what the heck, he does not even know the stereotypes! Anyway, the lastest hilarity stems from that.
J: I want to go to Africa and be an African American, can we go there someday?
Me: (trying to think of someway to explain ethnicity to a 4 year old)So, you want to be an American in Africa?
J:Yes! Can I wear my Native American costume when I am there?

ah, anatomy!

Overhead after bath time.
J the elder asked his father why girls did not have penises. I have always just said girl's don't need penises.
Anyway, tonight J asked why girls do not have penises, and his father answered "because they have vaginas"
J: what do vaginas do?
DH: The same thing penises do.
J: I want a vagina!
