In the car yesterday, Xander announced 'Daddy, I need a band aid. I have an injury.'
I looked at Tom, 'An injury?!'
He looked at me owlishly, 'Yes?'
Me: 'How many 2.5 year olds say 'injury'? Most of them say 'owie''
Tom: 'Or booboo'
Me: 'My point.'
Tom: 'Yes, but this is Xander.'
Mr Big Ears in the back seat 'I HAVE AN INNNN JURRR EEEE!!'
Sigh.

Jason at the library yestereve: marched up to the reference librarian and asked for her help finding Mindstorms books.
Librarian:'Oh, yes. I remember you. Didn't we do this once before?'
Jason: 'Yes, and there wasn't anything in last time but I figured, since I was here, I would
check to see if anything came in or if anything new has come out. You never know...'
Librarian: 'True, you never know. Okay, lets look.'
She printed up four pages of all the titles available through our library system and gave them to him. Then she looked at me:
'I'm not sure if these books are all appropriate for him but... he is like a forty year old! He
knows what he wants and you can have a conversation with him!!!'

Jason at dinner yesterday, asked for dessert.
I responded "not at the restaurant but if you like, after dinner, we can go over to the grocery store and buy some of those little ice cream cups.'
Then, noticing the time, I said:
'You know, we will only have time for one thing after dinner. Would you rather go to the library or get ice cream?
Jason, thinking deeply: 'I think I would rather go to the library.'
Me, beaming at Tom: 'Thats my child!'
Jason, looking between the two of us: 'I think I would get more benefit from the library than from ice cream.'
Me, blinking at Tom: 'Thats your child!'
Tom, grinning: 'No, thats OUR child!'
