No names named, here are some gems from kids in my world this week:
Advertising spy services,
"I'm a Spy. You can tell because of my [cowboy] boots and... all this stuff [sunglasses]. My shirt says 'Sketchers,' but it's really a spy shirt -- see? It says 'S.' Spy."
Describing a younger sibling,
"He was excited about 'dickers' which was his word for 'stickers,' and then he came over with respiratory napkins stuck all over him...."
(That is what those napkins are about, isn't it? A reminder to breathe deeply?)
My six-year old told me after babysitting a four-year old (mother's helper):
"I told him I could read him a book and he said, 'What? No, you can't read books. Only adults can do that.' [Me: What did you tell him?] I said, 'Well, actually, anyone can read if they practice.'"

So sweet! You might mention, though, that those "respiratory napkins" were supposed to be "feminine napkins." Just for clarity's sake!
Happy Easter!
