Things he says

My son has a lot to say about everything these days. Here are some of our recent conversations:

TOMATO TEA

I: Let's play. I am the Mommy and you are Ivor. Ok?
Me: Okay, "mommy". What are you doing?
I: I am drinking a cup of tea. Here, you can have some juice. Isn't that nice?
Me: Thank you, "mommy". That's very good juice. Do you like your tea?
I: Yes, I am drinking tomato tea.
Me: Tomato tea?
I: Yes. It is tea of tomatoes.
Me: Interesting! I've never had tomato tea before. Can I try some?
I: No, you did NOT eat your vegetables.

DREAMS

Me: Ivor, did you have any dreams last night?
I: Yeah, I did.
Me: What did you dream?
I: About Jesus and angels.
Me: Wow. What did Jesus do in your dream?
I: He was driving a motorcyle and singing. Then a angel appeared suddenly and said, 'Do not be afraid, Mary. You will have a baby and you will name him, Jesus.'
Me: Right. Why was Jesus driving a motorcycle?
I: He just likes motorcycles!

BAD MOOD

Me: You crack me up, buddy.
I: NO. STOP saying that. I am NOT BUDDY. I am IVOR!
Me: Oh, sorry. You're right. You are Ivor.
I: Of course I am right!
Me: I think you are a bit of grouch-a-potamus.
I: MOMMY! I am NOT a GROUCH-A-POTAMUS. I am angy.
Me: Why are you angry?
I: Of course I am angy.
Me: Yes, but why are you angry?
I: Angy is just a feeling! I am feeling. I am NOT PRETEND!

AGES

Me: Ivor. How old are you?
I: I am 2. That is a big boy!
Me: How old is Mommy?
I: I think you are 6. And Daddy is 6.
Me: Did you know that Mommy is actually 30 years old!?
I: But Mommy, I think you are just 6...
