"Concede!"

Playing sword fight with Adam last week, I pretended he got me, so I sat down on the floor. He points his sword on my chest and with authority, commands, "Concede!"

Shocked, I asked, "What did you just say?"

Adam repeats, "Concede!"

"Do you know what that means?"

"I don't know...again an again?"

"It means 'to give up'. Where did you get it from?"

"From Kuya's (James') show, bionicles."

What does it mean again?"

"Give up."

Amazing...

Who's Smarter Now?

I was trying to reason with Adam that he still needs his nap during the day as he's never really liked sleeping.

"You need to sleep because that's when your brain grows. Do you know what the brain is?"

Adam (3yrs and 9months) says: "Yes, it's inside my head."

Impressed, I asked: "What is it for?"

Silence.

I explained: "It's what makes you smart."

Adam: "But I'm smart already."

He is.

A fish Called "Cold"

We went to Clifton Gardens with another family from school. We had a picnic and Von took the boys out to the wharf to go fishing (seriously) for the first time!

James caught a decent size bream that we took home! David caught two smaller ones that went back in and Von also caught a little one that also got returned to the waters. It was a rainy day and we all went home soaking but very excited about our adventure.

Driving home in the car, we were reliving the day and Von was saying, "James caught a big fish, David caught two small ones and all daddy caught was a cold." David got the joke straight away and he just made a chuckling sound. Meanwhile, James (serious as anything), said, "Is that the small fish you caught?"

Me and My Tummy

One day, Adam was sitting by my foot looking up at me. He said, "Your tummy looks like you're going to have another baby, mum." That was probably 6 months post-Edward...

However, a couple of days ago, while eating lunch, he said, "Let's eat dami-dami (lots and lots) so we can have a big tummy like yours." Edward is almost 11 months now. Maybe, I really have to do something about this tummy?
