"Nana, you don't look like yourself today."
"What's different about me?"
"I think you're starting to look like Poppop"
(Oh great, I think.) "How do I look like Poppop?'
"Mostly at your feet."
"Nana, what did your son play with when he was four?'
"My son? You mean your Daddy."
"No, back when he was your son and not my Daddy. What did he play with then?"
"I don't know if you realize this, but I really do think I am an animal sometimes. I worry about it and I wish someone would check to see if I got animal batteries by mistake?
"Is there anything more beautiful than a cheetah. I know lots of people like leopards or tigers but a cheetah makes you want to pet him."

I'm glad you're writing these things down. I wish I'd done the same. My kids said some hilarious, poignant, truthful, miraculous things, but most are lost to the sands of time because I didn't jot them down the moment they said them.
Kids say the darnedest things...
wait, someone else said that, didn't they?
How old? I'll guess three.

Grandkids are the best!
Kids are so wonderful. Exhausting but wonderful.
Denise and I just enjoyed big chuckles over this post. He is such a clever young man. Keep posting these, Patti.
I don't know; would it reassure Kevin or worry him more to know that he *is* an animal? (As are we all.)
Pretty great observations.
LOL
Three years: wonderful
Four years: wonderful
And once they get through the teenage years: wonderful again :)
So smart of you to write down his words. He sounds like a boy who does a lot of thinking. Just wonderful.
