Kids Say the Darndest Things

Due to the recent increase in the twins' vocabulary, I've been reflecting on some of my favorite things that have come out of my children's mouths.

Cade at 5 yrs old:
Me: What do you want for breakfast today?
Cade: I'll have eggs, coffee, and the morning paper.

Mason yesterday:
Mason: Mo-om, why you cooookeen?
Me: So you can have dinner, silly.
Mason: Mo-om, what you cooookeen foh dinnoo?
Me: Yummy spaghetti!
Mason: I wan peebuh and jewwy.

Claire a few weeks ago:
Me: You're Mommy's sweet little girl.
Claire: No, I Poppa's Princess.

While on the topic of children, I also never quite understand, but do appreciate, the fact that kids can be so easily pleased. For example, Cade asked for a telescope and a million other things from Santa this year. He got his telescope, and a million other things for that matter, but when you ask him what his favorite thing from Santa Claus was, he says, "My lollipop!"
