Ah, from the mouths of babes

Sometimes -- no, much of the time, my children stun me. What I find most amusing, however, is when they do something to amaze others. The classic moment with Jason was when, at three, he told Jeff Brewer 'Now we must do something truly difficult -- we must walk the stone path of destiny.'

Xander has done it now too. The other day, while I was off with Jason at a Cub Scouts trip, Xander stayed at home here with his Nonna Donna. They were having a conversation when suddenly he looked at her and said 'Now, let us reflect on this: It is an interesting idea but you are wrong.' She was floored. Grin. When I heard the story, I just cracked up.

What is it about three year old children or is it just my three year olds? Perhaps it is because the statements they make are so adult -- and they are so definately NOT!
