They're Honest

3 1/2 is a great age for you to view the world through (although sometimes it's embarrassing).

"Did you have a fun day today?"

"Yup."

"Were your friends there?"

"Yup. Nicholas, my new baby (he meant Mateo), girl Talya (or Natalya) and Take Nihal."

"Who?"

"Take Nihal."

"Nihal?"

"TAKE Nihal cuz he takes my toys."

Oh my. Just priceless.

So Daddy tells me how Declan was a big boy and helped bring out the garbage and recycling the other day. Some 20' something friend of our neighbour was walking by, scruffy beard, rather disheveled looking. Declan point and says confidently (AKA loudly) "That guy looks funny!" 

"Shh Declan don't say that."

"But he does look funny!"

"Declan. Don't say that about anybody."

"Oh."

And poor Daddy survives embarrassment. 

I love this story.
