What is Today?

Noah: "Dad, what is today?"
Dad: "Today is Monday."
Noah: "No, that's not it. Mom, what is today?"
Mom: "Today is Monday."
Noah: "No, today isn't 'Monday', today is tomorrow."

Premature Punishment

Seth comes in with a broken toy sword.  Deborah asks whose it was and he replies: “Hyrum's.”

Deborah tells him, “Hyrum isn't going to be very happy when he finds out.”

Seth replies, “Yeah, he'll kill me. Mom, will you get Hyrum in trouble?"

Deborah asks, "What for?  You are the one who broke his sword."

He said, "Well, he was the one about to kill me!"

So we are hypothetically punishing Hyrum before the fact...

A Spoon in the Road

As Deborah was driving, her son Hyrum was commenting on the fork in the road. Then they got to the roundabout and he said, "Mom, since that is round, it should be called a spoon in the road!"

Thou Shalt Not Kill

Seth was playing with his stuffed leopard at the top of our stairs, when Deborah overheard him.
"Now here are da rules:"
"No stealing, and no dying [killing] people."
We agreed with his rules.

Giving a Scarf

When you give a scarf to someone, all you are giving them is yarn and your time." - Cassandra

Giving Up at an Early Age

Seth was carrying several of his toys up the stairs in our home. He had placed them in a box in order to carry more at the same time. "Mommy!" he exclaimed, "I wanna go home. It's too hard!"

Do You Want Tickles?

Deborah was playing with Seth and teasingly asked him, "Seth, do you want tickles?"
"Yesh" was his reply.
"Where do you want them?" she asked. "On your feet?"
"No." he responded.
"On your tummy?" Deborah continued
"No." he again responded
"Then where do you want them?" she asked.
"On Hyrum" was Seth's reply.
