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

30 month-old Spock in observing how the conveyor belt at the airport baggage check works:

"I'm fascinated!"

"Jesus" in the lion's den

Spock informs us of an incident that even his New Testament scholar daddy was not aware of:

And Jesus was thrown into the lion's den... and the lions did not eat him!

TaaTaa

SR Nathan - the President of Singapore:

While watching the Singapore National Day parade on television, Spock sees the President of Singapore, SR Nathan, and claims that he's TaaTaa (my boss at work, LT Jeyachandran, whom S affectionately calls, TaaTaa - Grandfather in Hindi):

Spock: That's TaaTaa!

Mommy: Are you sure?

Spock: Yes! I like TaaTaa. He's a good guy.

The real TaaTaa:

Storyteller

"Let me tell this story about the duck. This is not a bad story: once upon a time, there was a meadow in the stream. The end!"
