Normal for the age. I just caught my 3-year-old son sticking a Skittle in his ear. And when I took it out, he was already trying to shove another one up his nose. 52601@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 19:00:13 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/22/023752.php#comment-52499 LOL! Here's one from a kid I babysat many, many moons ago: Sees "heavyset" woman with large tummy. Asks, "Mommy, what's in her tummy?" Mommy says, "There's a baby in there! She's going to have a baby soon." Kid says, "Oh. Then what's in her legs?" 52499@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 12:29:12 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/22/023752.php#comment-52498 I told my son there was lots of salt in the ocean. He thought it over a minute and asked me if there was any pepper? 52498@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 12:26:04 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/22/023752.php#comment-52481 Nice piece, Tom. (cute baby, too, but in one of your website photos, you look like you just stepped off a plow; oh, I just noticed where you're from; nevermind...) "Ask me about my Grandson!" --- Shark Personal anecdote warning: at the park the other day, my 3 yr old grandson saw his first pair of identical twins; two little girls in identical pink outfits walking side by side. He looked shocked and amazed, then he said, "Papa, look, she's got two heads!" I love that. 52481@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 09:25:46 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/22/023752.php#comment-52476 Or at least something that sounds like farsi. 52476@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 09:01:44 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/22/023752.php#comment-52474 LOL! 52474@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 08:53:36 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/22/023752.php#comment-52473 The exclamation point is indeed impressive! Our three-month-old speaks farsi. 52473@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 08:48:08 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/03/22/023752.php#comment-52471 "Uh oh" is the BEST first word, because they usually use it correctly. There's hope for med school yet. My five-year-old wrote a note this morning, and she used an exclamation point correctly! [like that] I'm tellin' ya, it's the little things that make a parent proud. Harvard, here she comes. 52471@blogcritics.org Mon, 22 Mar 2004 08:39:47 EST
