Conversations with a Toddler

Playing a family game of Apples to Apples, someone hands me a card that says "Plato" so I say, Plato out loud and begin reading the description of him being a philosopher and yadda yadda yadda when I'm interrupted by Ethan,

"Yeah mom, and we don't eat Plato either"
"No Ethan that's right, we don't eat Playdough"

Gearing up for a trip to the farm to see some cows, I try to make the trip educational and begin asking the kids questions over breakfast....

"What do cows eat?"
Ethan, "HAM!"
Claire, "Moooooo"


"Do you guys know what cows give us?"
Ethan, "They don't give us toys."
"That's right Ethan, they don't give us toys.  They give us milk and hamburger and steaks...."
Ethan interrupting, "'And, Mom, if a cow pees on me, then I'll turn into a cow"
what?!  where does he get this stuff?  I love that little man!

We had some friends over this week for a family dinner and family game night.  Since the kids were busy playing, the parents decided to play "Battle of the Sexes"  My friend Lindsay read the first female card to the men,

"What type of cream is used in hair removal"?"

While the men were thinking, Ethan comes into the room and yells

"SOUR CREAM!"

good guess buddy...good guess.
