Home for the holidays and hanging out with my niece (4) and nephew (6), the following interesting phrases have come up:
While eating ice cream -
Marisa: "Ow, that nut just hurt the special part of my mouth."
Jacob: "Oh yeah. You mean by where the spitmaker is."
After spending 15 minutes outside re-wiring the Christmas lights on his own, crying due to coooold hands -
Jacob: "I had to stick my hands in the snow to touch the power strip."
And the best ever, while riding to school with his mom at 8:30 in the morning -
Jacob: "So Mom, did you know that people were trying to kill Jesus?"
Chomsky would love this stuff.

cute stuff.
i love how the question about jesus is so casual. "So, mom," is always a great way for a kid to start a sentence.
angela, we don't have that game, but would love it, i'm sure. (the one you asked me about in an email)
