My sister-in-law's Facebook status about her 5 year old daughter, M.E.:
"We were talking about her day at school and M.E. asked me if there were witches in our part of the country. What? Why do you ask that? She said, "Well, you know that part in the Pledge of Allegiance where it says "...to the Republic where witches stand..." Hilarious.
Yesterday, I went to lunch with my mom, sister MR, and niece MG. Niece MG is always excited about what is going to happen next: "Can we watch a video when we get home?" "What are we doing on Saturday?" etc. So towards the end of lunch, she asked her mom/my sister if she could watch a video when they got home. My sister, being a fun and involved mother, replied, "How about a Special Moment with Mom?" causing my niece to become very excited as she exclaimed she wanted to play with play-dough upon their arrival home. I said, "Aw. It will be a special MOMent" because I'm a dork and enjoy a play on words (which some claim is the lowest form of humor. This maybe be confirmed in the following sentence). My five year old niece then cracked up saying "Hey! You took moment and put 'mom' in it because it's the same". Oh boy. While my niece is extremely smart for figuring this out since she is only in kindergarten, I'm not sure how I should feel since she is five and I am twenty-two and we came to the same conclusion. I'm chalking it up to she's brilliant and going to be quick with the wit when she's older. Like maybe next year when she's six.
