Caleb heard someone say "shut up" on a Cheerios commercial.
Caleb: That's not the kind of shut up we say.
Isaac: We don't say shut up at all.
Caleb: Yeah we do. Like we shut up people in a box.
Isaac: Yes, you're right, we CAN shut things up in a box. But we don't shut people up in boxes!

Caleb: How many rolls do we have for dinner?
Daddy: Three
Caleb: Oh, one for each of us.
Daddy: That's right.
Daddy: So, what if we had 6 rolls. How many would we each get?
Caleb: Two!

My child can do division...sort of. Yay for word problems!

A fly landed on Caleb's arm while we were watching the Bird Presentation at the zoo. I shooed it away.
Caleb: Why did you do that?
Mommy: There was fly on you.
Caleb: But Mommy, that scares the bugs when you do that.
Mommy: I know, but that'll keep them from crawling on you.
Caleb: Well, I like bugs now, so I want them to be on my arms all the time.

Isaac and I picked Caleb up from Sunday School. They had done a project where they used their thumbprints to make a picture, so he still had remnants of ink on his thumbs.
