The scene: Lane is eating his lunch and biting his cheese and crackers into funny shapes and telling me what they are.
Lane: Mommy, this is a stop sign.
Mommy: Yes, it is.
Lane: A stop sign is red.
Mommy: You're right.
Lane: Like your shirt.
Mommy: Okay, bud keep eating.
Lane eats for a while and then starts talking again...but Mommy can't really make out what he's saying.
Lane: Mommy this one is a buh-tay-o.
Mommy: A potato?
Lane: No, a buh-tay-o. A buh-tay-o, Mommy with hot water in it!
Bewhildered; Mommy stares at Lane wondering what the heck he is saying.
Lane: Mommy, you know, a buh-tay-o? With hot water?
Mommy: Bud, I don't know what you're saying.
Lane: A buh-tay-o!
Mommy: A tornado?
Lane: (sighs) A buh-tay-o with hot water.
Mommy: It has hot water in it?
Lane: Yeah, I have to show you on my cartoon.
Mommy: It's on your show? What show?
Lane: Brother Bear.
Mommy: It has hot water?
Lane: Yeah, a buh-tay-o and you can't touch it, (motioning with his hands) it has hot water going up.
Mommy: A Volcano?!
Lane: Yeah. It has hot water and bubbles. Pop pop pop.
The things this kid thinks about! I'm still laughing!
