Adding insult...

So after that last zinger, he brought this while I was pushing him on the swing today.

Ade: "How long is tabby going to live?"

Me: "I don't know, maybe 15 years or more. Little dogs can live a while."

Ade: "Will she be really old, just like you?"

Young at heart.

Ade: "How long am I going to be alive?"

Dad: "Hopefully a long, long time. Long enough to see me become an old man."

Ade: "You already are old."

Ouch.

Donations

Ade: "We made a puzzle of a fire-hydrant at school today, and there was a donation."

Me: "The puzzle was donated?"

Ade: "No, there was a donation on the fire hydrant. You know, the fire men stay at the fire station and play with the donation, and play basketball all day."

Me: "You mean a dalmation?"

Ade: "Yeah, a donation."

Away in a Manger

Ade, singing the second verse of Away in a Manger: "The cattle are glowing..."

Going for a ride

Ade, jumping on my back: "Dad, give me a penny bank ride."

Last night/ Yesterday night

Ade: "Remember what we did yesternight?"

Snack Mix

Ade and Mom were making a chocolatey, peanut-buttery, sugary, breakfast cerealy, treat one afternoon.

Mom: "I call this dog chow, because it looks a little like puppy food. Other people call it mud-puppies."

Ade: "I will call it dirty-doggies."
