First time

Spock was looking out at traffic downstairs from our apartment window:

Daddy: What do you see?

Spock: I see *Boondong. He is in a double-decker car.

Daddy: Oh really? I don’t think so.

Spock: I do.

Daddy: Where is he?

Spock: He’s in a double-decker car.

Daddy: I don’t think so. I’ve never heard of a double-decker car!

Spock: There is a first time for everything!

*Note: “Boondong” is an alter ego Craig made up for himself a few weeks ago, whom he also refers to as a third person. His brother is “Brujujujah”

So sweet

After giving his mommy a big kiss, he says: "Awww I'm soooo sweet!"

Traveling in the car last night, Spock "composed" his first song (to the tune of Twinkle Twinkle Little Star):

Twinkle twinkle traffic light

Round the corner shining bright

Red means stop and green means go

Yellow means very very slow

Twinkle twinkle traffic light

Round the corner shining bright

Epiphany

Spock's various attempts to delay bedtime:

Spock: I have to poop.

Daddy: You have to poop? You pooped earlier.

Spock: My tummy is empty but I am waiting to poop. Jesus said I must poop...

Daddy: What?! Jesus didn't ask you to poop! No more excuses - stay in bed.

Spock: But I need more excuses!

A classic

During bedtime reading:

Spock: I want you to read this (Dr Seuss's The Grinch who stole Christmas) to me.

Mommy: Are you sure - it may be scary for you and you may get nightmares. Let's read another one.

Spock: No. I want this one. It's a classic - you must read it to me!

Mealtime banter

After tasting his chicken, Spock says...

"Yummy chicken! ...I love chicken... Why do we eat animals?...(Daddy gives him a reasonable answer)... Thank you, Mommy, for this wonderful food!...Why do we close our eyes when we pray?...(To Daddy) Can I have a little bit of your broccoli?...(To Mommy) Your food is very good!"

P.S.: His mom is THRILLED that he loves broccoli.

The F word

"I'm fascinated!"
