Act I:
So, sometimes PDaniel makes some colorful exclamations when Dangerboy runs into him at full speed. If you're a dad of young children, or you're close to one, you know what I mean. I think hearing these, coupled with waaaay too much SpongeBob, have resulted in what I've been hearing lately, when Cookie-Nut runs into DB:
"Mom, she hit me in the barnacles!!!"
When asked where his barnacles are, it's different every time.
Act II:
DB: Ahhh! (giggling) Don't tickle me in the neboes!
Me: What?? Where are your neboes?
DB: (points to his armpits)
Me: 'Neboes?!' Where in the world did you get 'neboes'?
DB: (Proud that he knows the answer to this no-brainier) "From Jesus!"
Act III:
(Dangerboy's watermelon slides off his plate and onto the floor).
Me: Hey! You need to be careful when you're carrying watermelon. We don't want it on the carpet!
DB: But mom! It just jumped out!
Me: The watermelon jumped? I don't think so. Does watermelon jump?
DB: Sometimes it jumps.
Me: Hmmm. I don't think so.
(Pause. Thinking).
DB: Mom, I think I'm right. Watermelon jumps sometimes.

Come on, Mom, watermelon always jumps, especially when it is on a flat slick plate! At least it did when you were little.
This was adorable, Christi. I especially admire the thought that goes into all DB decides to say before he says it. That is rare for a fellow his age, and it tickles me each time you tell me he pauses to deliberate the facts. What a doll!
