3 year old logic is great. Aidan wouldn't come with us to the scan so we showed him the (rubbish) pics when we got back but he wanted to see the baby. I explained he couldn't see it as it was in mummy's tummy, his reply was "take it out mummy, I want to see it!"

I can't get over this, but Henry at 13-months is saying "Thank you" in a very low-key sort of way. He's been going Ma-ma-ma-ma-ma-ma and Da-da-da-da-da for some time now, but these are actual words with an applied meaning. And it's "Thank you."
For comparison's sake, my first words were "Leave me alone" and Beeps' was "Uh-oh." Don't know what sunny's was, probably "Another Weetabix please" or something.

Owen made Ben spill his water, and we got angry at him. He then sulked over to my wife and gave her a hug.
Owen: "I'm not hugging you; you're hugging me, because you yelled at me."

Seems like everyday they have a conversation based around their endless play-adventures which cracks us up. Yesterday, Ava was conducting a chat between two reindeers...
R1: "Why are you sitting down, we have so much to do!"R2: "Haven't you heard? Christmas is cancelled because all the children have been turned into SKELETONS!"
― Michael Jones, Sunday, 23 January 2011 13:42 (thirteen years ago) link
Right now, they're dangling their Lego Bionicles over the banister on the stairs (on string/ribbon which Ava appears to have knotted herself) and are talking to each other in robot voices. They've been doing this for HALF AN HOUR. Oh, and now it's a robot sea shanty.

Beeps and I were at McDonald's on Saturday where an employee (who was young and, as I would reluctantly point out, a bit dimwitted) came by our table. He asked how old she was and I told him almost four. Then he asked if I was her grandfather.
Now, I had gone out and stayed past curfew for the first time in awhile the night before. I was unshaven, wearing my glasses and a checkered flannel shirt. But man, even from someone who appeared to not be all there, it kind of hit hard. Even after the guy moseyed on, Beeps picked up on it right away.
B: "That man said you were my grandfather."PP: "Yes, I heard him."
OLD WOMAN IN BOOTH BEHIND US: "It's okay! You don't look that old!"
Anyway. I think Beeps thinks she's found something useful to use in conversation. Like yesterday, as we were getting ready for me to take her and her little brother over to my dad's house.
B: "Where are we going?"PP: "You're going to spend the afternoon with your grandparents."B: "I'm going to spend the afternoon with you?"PP: "I'm not your grandfather!"B: "Well, everyone says you are."
From upstairs, I could hear Sunny exploding with laughter. She's the one who transcribed the above conversation.

Not quite as bad, but from Howie who'd drawn a picture of his family the other day: "That one is Daddy, that one is Howie and that one is Archie. And that one (points at short stumpy one) is you, Mummy, because you are very short."
