[Brent is putting honey on a biscuit.]
Lucas: Honey!
Brent: Do you know where honey comes from?
Lucas: Bees!
[Brent and I exchange looks of awe and astonishment. This is the first time in months the honey bottle has been out of the cupboard. How does he know that?!?!]
Me: How do you know that bees make honey?
Lucas: Papa.
A follow-up phone call confirms that Papa and Lucas watched a tv show about bees making honey. Boy, he was really paying attention – that was three weeks ago!
--------------------------------
If one of us coughs, Lucas imitates it. If we sneeze, he imitates. Driving yesterday, there was a sneeze. This is what followed:
Lucas: aa-choo!
Me: Oh, bless you! Do you have the sneezes?
Lucas: aa-choo! Key-nex peeze.
[Remember, these are fake sneezes. But I looked for a Kleenex and couldn’t find anything in the truck, not even a napkin.]
Me: Sorry, bud, I can’t find a Kleenex.
Lucas: AA-CHOO! KEY-NEX PEEZE!
Then, there was some whining and I remembered the diapers wipes, so I gave him one of those. Ah, the smile of a child - you would have thought he won a lifetime supply of suckers as he wiped away the imaginary boogers.
