Things my kids have taught me

• "Daddy, what's a question?
  
• "Daddy, will my name still be Danny when I'm grown-up?"
  
• "But why, Daddy?
   - "I don't know, sweetheart."
  [Pause.  Whew!]
  "But what do you think?
  
• [My oldest son, watching a parade:]
  "Daddy, when will they play, "My Country tiverslee?"
• [After singing "I can't smile without you" to my daughter, then 3 yrs old:]
  "Daddy, do you smile at work sometimes?"

More to come

• [At Chuck E. Cheese's in January, our youngest son, 5, played the game where you shoot the water pistol into a target.  The one with the best aim wins.  I took him to the men's room just before we left.  As he's washing his hands, he dead-pans the following:]
  "Dad, I peed into the hole the whole time.  Where are my tickets?!?"

I love this entry. As a mother of a five year-old daughter, I can relate. We have a shortage of toilet paper and scotch-tape in our house, always (five year-old girls love to tape stuff - anything - together.
