On our way to school each day, Mini-man and I have to walk through a small patch of trees. He pretends that there is a lion living in there and that we have to sneak by it.
MM: Mom, lions sleep at the daytime and are awake at nighttime. Peoples sleep at the nighttime and are awake at the daytime.
Me: Yes
He repeats this over and over and even tells his teacher once he gets to school.
MM: Teacher, lions sleep at the daytime and are awake at nighttime. Peoples sleep at the nighttime and are awake at the daytime.
Teacher: So, lions are nocturnal.
MM: No! Not a turtle! I said lions!
We could not stop laughing!

A little more logic
Okay, so I thought that it was just my younger kids who said or did crazy stuff. BUT, Nooooo!!
After picking the preteen/teen boys up from a friends house this afternoon they were both telling me about their day!
Me: How was you day?
Red: They broke K's bed wrestling.
Me: Were you wrestling with them?
Red: Nope, but I fixed it.
Me: How?
Red: The redneck way--with a sock and duct tape! (Proudly puffing out his chest and smiling)
Me: And your day Lord Humble?
LH: Their cousin was over.
Me: Yes, is he nice?
LH: I told him he looks like a gecko.
Me: Why?
LH: Because he has big eyes.
There must be some reason for all of the distorted logic? Maybe our new homeschool course should be TACT 101. Or maybe, I will just continue to say that they take after their dad!

Toddler Logic
My kids always amaze me with their logic.
For example on Monday, we were picking up my husbands dry cleaning. I hand the lady my visa card.
Lady: Is this debit or credit?
Me: Credit
Lady: Credit, okay.
Girly Wirly (in back seat of van) yells: Her name is not CREDIT! It is MOM. You spell it M-O-M! Smiling all proud of herself.
Neither the lady or myself could stop laughing. Yup, she is ready for kindegarten.
Or yesterday, Little Man has been very interested in making "soup". He had a plasic cup and a spoon outside. He runs into the house and gets a brand new bottle of garlic powder.
Me: What are you doing with that?
Little Man: Making soup!
Me: Go put that up!
He slumps his shoulders and returns it to kitchen. I go in to change the baby's diaper. As I am heading back outside, I see that he is in the pool with an empty bottle of garlic powder.
Me: Didn't I tell you to put that away?
Little Man: Yes, but I was making soup!
Me: Why is it in the pool then?
Little Man: Because I was hungry, and I wanted to swim. So I made a big soup.
Yes, he poured all of the powder into the pool stirred it with his spoon so that he could eat and swim at the same time. How can I compete with that logic?
