6 y/o was pretending the recycling bin was a dump truck trailer, filled it with mud and told everyone to check out his huge dump
"it is the biggest dump ever, look at how huge it is!"

Most certainly a boy. You should be proud.

Has he been listening to any Trump Rallies recently?

Was talking to my 5 year old earlier about how the rain cycle works. He starting yapping away about how it rains really hard in Africa (random?) then looks up at me with his eyes open super wide and says "Aba, is Africa a real place?"

I told him in all seriousness "yes, it is."

Also hopped on the chinuch moment and told him that I know Africa is a real place because I have spoken to people who have been there. That is how we know the Torah is real too, because our parents' parents' parents' back many generations were at Har Sinai, and they told their kids about it for generations. 

overheard: 
6 y/o: "Maaaaa, [5 y/o] is saying bathroom words and pretending he speaking Spanish!"

I was shmuzing it up with my 5-yo son, trying to psych him up for the Seder. Along the way I asked him if I can steal the afikoman too. He said “No!” “Why not”, replied TD?

“Because you’re a grown up,”

” Excuse me, what makes you say I’m a grown up?”

” Because, you are a Totty!”

 

 For those unfamiliar with Tzitzis Dude, he prides himself on still being a kid on the inside, so this conversation hit hard.

My English cousin was with us for Yom Tov. Seeing how handsome and sharp my son was looking, she offered him a compliment. 
“You look very smart, Shmerel”.
“I am”, was the reply. 

Not sure if this belongs here or on the grouchy thread but....

My two year old daughter is walking around all Yom tov (we moved into my in-laws and parents for the whole Yom tov) saying something in gibrish that sounds like she's saying the F word, it's hilarious, funny, nerdy, what not. Don't know what she means to say or not but it's driving me up the wall.
