Conversation with a 5 year old using 3 words.

Yep

Nope, and,

Right.

For example, went to pick up my daughter from orientation today, and my 5 year old Matt rode along.

"Dad, flies are gross."

Yep

"And, isn't it disgusting their skeletons are on the outside of their bodies"

Yep

"And flies aren't very strong, right?"

Right

"But they're disgusting, right?"

Right

"And they could kill you, right?"

Nope

"But they're fast, right?"

Right

"And look at that, (pointing at a windsock for a helicopter landing pad) that used to be a telescope, but it's broke now, right?"

Nope

"Oh, yeah, it's a cannon, right?"

Nope

"Well it looks like a cannon, and cannons are loud, right?"

Right

"And cannons could kill you, right?"

Yep

"Did you ever have a cannon daddy?"

Nope

"I wish I had a cannon cuz I would shoot it, and be loud, and I could do that, right daddy?"

Yep

Well, you get the point. :D

I gotta tell you, one that I fall back on a lot when I get a bunch of stuff followed by a, "...right, daddy?" is, "Something like that, buddy." That way I haven't committed to anything and I don't have to ask him to repeat it. Just you agree with something you did not hear fully (due to the baby or the 5 year old interrupting your ability to follow the 3 year-old's meanerings while driving in traffic) and then try to weasel out of consenting that you would take them to the waterpark tomorrow-when it's March, or "something like that..."

THESE are the good old days that I am going to laugh about when I am old. Kids are too funny.
