Jefferson (7.5): What do they call that thing we ate if it's just a big chunk of cookie shaped like a triangle?
Me: A scone, honey.
Jefferson: But it's like a cookie?
Me: Yes, but they call it a scone....
(He's right though - the ones from Walmart are a sweet and textured just like a cookie. I hadn't thought that the kids would like them. Still don't think he remembers the word 'scone' since he asks for a the 'triangle cookie'!)
---------------------------------------------
Jefferson (while really enjoying his dinner): I could eat this meat 24/7!
(Don't think he knows what that means - just that he's heard it somewhere before)
--------------------------------------------
Reagan (6) (While coloring in a tomato for her garden book): I'm making the back darker so it's looks like a shadow!
Me:What do you mean? What made you know to do that? (Surprised at her understanding of coloring shadows to make something appear more 3-D)
Reagan: I saw them do it on Bob the Tomato. You know - the part at the end where they showed us how to draw Larry?
(Apparently the special features to a Veggie movie has instructions on drawing the characters. She must have been intrigued by this enough to remember how to shade her tomato! Her memory always surprises me!)
--------------------------------------------
Jefferson: How do you like my pot, Mommy? (As he shoves a sand bucket full of super packed dirt into my face)
Me: Uh... what do you mean?
Jefferson: I planted a seed! Do you think it will be ok? Will it grow?
(I love his enthusiasm and his belief that any seed put in soil WILL grow!)
--------------------------------------------
Reagan (while observing closely the new growth on our Wandering Jew & with utter amazement): It looks just like God put glitter in the leaves, Mommy!
Jefferson: Yeah! And they're hairy too!
