Anyone who has ever spent more than 10 minutes around kids knows that the things that sometimes come out of their mouths are pure comic gold. Here are a few gems from this weekend from my son and my fiance's younger son (both age 6).
I wasn't personally present for this quote from my fiance's son, but it's been repeated ad nauseum (by the adults and out of earshot of the child) since it was uttered on Saturday simply because it's so flipping funny.
While sitting on the deck of his grandparents' house and, I suppose, checking out the birds that were hanging out in the nearby trees, he said, "Robins are popular birds. They're so popular that a team was named after them: the Cardinals."
--- :-D ---
And then on Sunday, the whole crew stopped by the Bruster's on Woodruff Road for an ice cream treat. My son, who has become adept at and keenly interested in reading every scrap of paper, billboard and street sign around, was sounding out the name of the restaurant on the other side of the parking lot: Sexy Taco.
He promptly asked what "sexy" means, and my fiance and I both practically tripped over our tongues trying to come up with an explanation of the word. My son, clearly annoyed with our meager and failing attempts, professed his own definition:
"Sexy means purple, and purple means kissy."
Well, there you have it, folks. "Purple means kissy."
