My middle son, then 3 years old, announced "I'm going to be a talking animal".
I then asked him, "Oh yeah? What kind of animal will you be?"
"A yak." he answered. He had no idea that he had just made a joke.
My oldest son, then 5 years old, lamented that he could not find a particular Lego, "I can't find that piece I need!"

I try to reassure him, "Don't worry, it will turn up".
"Where?" he pressed, "I can't find it!"
"Where?" he pressed, "I can't find it!"
Again I try to pacify him with Zen-like wisdom, "It will turn up when you least expect it."
"I least expect it now...(he paused)...What does that mean anyway?"

This is the best reason I can think of for having a blog, especially one called FatCatEating---CATaloguing all the cute things your children have said or are saying; although teenagers aren't known for saying cute things. Irritating perhaps, but not cute. Sometimes parents can even say something cute. For instance, last night we were wishing your brother "happy birthday," and Dad asked him what he would be eating for dinner. When he said, "Mexican," Dad wondered, "What's your favorite Mexican dish---besides Lydia?" Cute.
