What is something one of your young kids said that was so cute it actually made since?

My son pointing at a stone on my driveway said in his developing vocabulary, proudly "stone".

"Well done Simon, that is a special stone, called a pebble"

"Pebl"

"Well done, and what's its name?"

"Eric"

Eric has been the name of many inanimate objects since.

I've told this story before but many years ago when the world was still innocent and I still *ugh* shaved I stepped out of the shower one morning, dried off, and without dressing stood at the basin to shave.

One of the toddlers walked in, looked up, grabbed, tugged, and said, "Toot! Toot!"

I nearly cut my throat.

My 4 year old niece does not yet grasp the concept of days and time in general, so she measures everything in "sleeps". "Two more sleeps until my dad comes home" "how many sleeps until my birthday?"

She asked about my birthday just a few weeks after it had passed, and when I told her the next wouldn't be for another year she muttered to herself "woah, that's a lot of sleeps"

Not so much cute, but very special for me:

Our oldest boy happened to be gifted (apparently, according to his private tutor in middle school) in playing the oboe; and the guy wanted him to get into some special program that was available.

Our son wasn't too keen on the idea. So, I talked to him about it, opening with "I understand you are very good at playing the oboe."  (Hey, I'm tone deaf---I did what I could.)

His response was: "Dad, I'm good at a lot of things---I just don't want to play the oboe."

And it turned out that both of those statements were absolutely true.

Example:

When we are hand sanitizing our hands I tell Jr "lets kill the germs" When he wants the hand sanitizer he will say "wash germs!" Lol! He's kind of got a point there!

My dolly who at the tender age of 18 months could throw a ball accurately, came to me at 6 and said, "You really should put me in Soccer, I'd be very good at it." and she really was.
