The other day Ryan & I walked by a Jet-Ski,
Ryan gets all excited and says "Look Mom a water motorcycle".
I'm told that my mother's first response to an airplane was
"Look it's a birdy-tractor".

A few days later, Ryan is coloring at the table and notices
that he has new crayons.  He gives me a big hug and says sweetly
"thanks Mom".  I hug him back and say "you're welcome".
Then he pulls away, looks at me through indignate eyes and he scolds
me by saying "You're not the Easter Bunny".
(You see the crayons came in his Easter Basket).

I know one guy who used to tease his children with a simple
phrase of "you're no good".  His first five kids would just respond
with a denial, something like "oooh yes I am".
He gave up the habit when his sixth child responded with
"yeah dad, but you're good aren't you?".

A friend of ours attended her 3 year olds bible study class.
The lesson was about prayers at home.  The teacher was asking
each child at what special times they prayed at home.
The mom waited anxiously knowing that they weren't faithful
about meal prayers nor bedtime ones.  When it was
Dominicks turn, he replied,  "when I pee".
Amongst snickers, the teacher began her rounds again, this time
asking what each child prayed about. Some children were thankful for
food, others for family and friends, but when she returned to
Dominick, his mother sunk low in her chair. His reply was simply
"I praise the Lord".  The teacher was tactful enough to not ask
for any further explanation.

Some twenty years ago, when my nephew Justin was a child,
my sister caught him praying in a unique way.
 Justin's version of "Thanks be to God" was "Thanks speedy God".

Ryan's version of evening prayers---
Angel of God, my guardian dear
to whom God's glove hits me here...
