During our little holiday trip, my son has demonstrated the brilliance that only a 4 year old could get away with.

First time:

Him: I liked Hello-een.
Me: That's Halloween.
Him: No. You knock on door. They say hello. You say Trick-or-treat. They give you candy. Hello-een.

I showed my brilliance by not going into a boring lecture of the historic signifigance of All Hallow's Eve.

.

2nd example.

Him: I want to put the cat on the bed.
Me: Listen to me Sasha. You do not PUT cats anywhere. They go where they want to go. If you try to put a cat anywhere they will bit and scratch you.
Him: Ohhh. OK. Papa, you put the cat on the bed.

I showed my brilliance by NOT putting the cat on the bed.

That's really cute Dan... My girlfriend and I are utterly thrilled to hear that little Sasha's doing so well. She hassled me every day for a week while you wrote up your russian trip asking if you'd made another post...

My friend's 4-year old informed his Grand-Parents "I can't to say sh*t. Because sh*t is a grown up word. Daddy says sh*t and Mommy says sh*t but I can't say sh*t". [Blushing]

I know a two and a half year old named Abigail... she and her mom came over to our house for dinner, along with my grandfather and great aunt. My mom brought out a bottle of wine, and when my dad opened the bottle, I guess the cork fell on the floor... later, Abigail picked it up and said "Is this from wine?"

We all gave her mom SUCH a hard time after that... "what have you been teaching your kid???" It was so funny!
