Last Christmas I was helping my two year old with a game of M&Ms bingo. Each child was given a bingo card and the host was giving out handfuls of M&Ms to use as markers. As soon as my daughter gets her handful of M&Ms, she turns to me and says, "Mommy, look at all my choking hazards!"

We're trying to start her potty training. While we were eating breakfast one day she says to me, "Mommy, I utot. Did you see that? I not 'Did you poop'!"

My six year old son has learned to make fun of my confusion with at/in/on. We were eating dinner one night and he asked for some olives, which is one of his favorite foods. I told him I already put some in his plate. Then I corrected myself and said that they're on his plate. Then he says, "Mommy, see I'm sitting in my chair!.. In my chair, Mommy.." I said, "Uhuh?" He says, "How can I even be in my chair? It's not even possible!!" Huh. I wonder if this is what I should be expecting the next few years..
