Motorcycle weaving passes the car at high speed in heavy traffic. Pete starts the highway safety speech as we have a new driver. Lil' Griff chimes in deadpan, "Maybe he has to stop a wedding."

My sister was putting on pants for my nephew this morning in the bedroom when I heard him yell out, "Ow! Don't pinch my wee wee!" I went in to see what happened. She said she hasn't even zipped up the zipper; she was just pulling up his pants and it must've pinched him somewhere.

The other day I heard my nephew yell in the bathroom, "Don't scratch my wee wee!" His mom was bathing him and must've scratched his wee wee while cleaning it.

Maybe all common stuffs you parents with boys out there, but I found it funny.

Ah, yes. We've been going through a phase recently. "My privates are long! How do we make them short again?!" He's really not a fan of this occurrence, though I'm sure he'll appreciate it as he gets older.

Thor is going to be Orion for Halloween this year. Discussing his costume last night, he was telling me all the names of the stars in the constellation, and I said "we could put a beetle on your right shoulder, next to Betelgeuse". "Why?" said Thor. "Because it might be sorta funny?"

Thor gives me a withering look and says "I'm not going for funny" and walks away.

(follows me, opens the door and stands there in the doorway)

inch3: "You need to have a tape measure when you poop."
foot3: "Oh yeah? Why's that?" (WTF and where is this going?)
inch3: "Because you need to cut wood."
foot3: "Really? I didn't know that."

So there you have it. Are we aptly named or what?
Ok Four years later and I just got it. He was referring to "Dropping logs"

My 4yo daughter, at the dinner table, apropos to nothing: “I’m having fun being a white person!”
