Not too fond of Esperanto either

Jon said to Robert (in the midst of one of their many Hot Wheels scenarios), "I am going to kill you!" I said, "I don't like that language." He very slyly replied, "You don't like English?"

Sweet, sweet victory

Jon went to a bowling party, and every time he knocked down a pin, he lifted up his arms and said "Victory!"

Hot Wheels forever (and ever)

We were discussing Hot Wheels (again) and I mentioned a scene in one of the movies. Jon said, "Good times...good times."

New facts about the history of space travel

We were discussing space travel, and Robert mentioned that the first creature in space was a dog. I asked him if he knew what the dog's name was, and he said "Dead dog".

Highway 3 Hardware

We went to a old-fashioned hardware store the other day, and Jon said, "This looks like an old-fashioned store." He's only four and a half. What does he know about old-fashioned?

And then God and Bigfoot get into a wrestling match

I was at school with Robert celebrating Dr. Seuss' birthday. I was listening to one of his classmates read "Ten Apples Up On Top" and we were discussing the how much of the book just wasn't very believable--first there is a lion and tiger in a suburban neighborhood, one of the animals was walking on a telephone wire, etc. She said,"Yeah, and this tree has been toppled over...only Bigfoot could do that, oh, and God, God could do that too."

Gold Star for Robot Boy

I was putting Jon to bed last night, and he said "Stay with me..." and I thought he was going to say "until I go to sleep", but he said "Stay with me until I power down." And within five seconds, he powered down. Easiest. Bedtime. Ever.
