The things kids say...

So the other day I was putting on make up in my bathroom when Logen came in to use the toilet. Here's the conversation:

Logen: "Mom! my other elbows are almost taller than the toilet!"

Me: "Your other what?! You mean, your elbows are taller than the toilet?"

Logen: "No, my OTHER elbows are almost taller than the toilet."

Me (after a full minute of trying to figure out what he meant, laughing): "You mean your KNEES are almost taller than the toilet?"

Logen: "Yeah, I mean my knees are almost taller...that means I'm growing up!"

Me: "Cool, bud. But remember that these (pointing to my knees) are knees and these (pointing to my elbows) are elbows.

Logen: "Whatever. I'm still growing up."

And a few days ago I was having a conversation with a sassy 3 year old (Sawyer)...here's that conversation:

Me: "Sawyer, come wash your hands so that you can eat lunch."

Sawyer: "No! I don't want to."

Me: "Don't tell me 'no', and please come wash your hands before I swat your bum."

Sawyer: "Then I'll swat your bum, hard!"

Me: "Then I will put you into time out and you'll miss lunch."

Sawyer: "Then I'll run away from you, fast!"

Me: "I'll catch you because I'm faster than you."

Sawyer: "No, I'll run faster and faster up into the mountains."

Me: "I'm still faster than you, but if I don't catch you, then the coyotes will."

Sawyer (after contemplating this for several seconds): "Mom, will you help me wash my hands?"
