• Every time my wife or I would look in the mirror with our little boy,
we’d ask him who each person was (Mommy, Daddy, etc.). When it came
time to ask who he was, we’d say, “That’s you!” One day we were looking
in the mirror, and I asked him who I was. He said, “Daddy.” I then
asked him who he was, and he said, “That’s you!” We’ve since started
teaching him that “That’s you” is actually Joshua. Joshua, 2, Aliso Viejo

Even though Cole has his own scooter, he was exceptionally excited to
take a ride on his brother’s Hot Wheels scooter. Cole was riding along
just fine, but then he came over to me and fussed that the scooter
wasn’t working for him. I asked, “Cole, what do you mean? You were
doing great!” He stuck out his bottom lip and said, “The wheels are
still cold.” Cole, 4, Fullerton

My 5-year-old was on my lap and wouldn’t let me up. I asked, “Aren’t
you hungry for dinner?” She replied, “I’m hungry for time on your lap,
Mommy.” Madison, 5, San Clemente

When we got our Christmas tree, Chase was so excited. He helped
decorate it and went to bed without a fight. He woke me up early the
next morning, leading me excitedly by the hand to the living room. When
we got there, he asked, “Oh no, Mommy! Have I been bad?” I replied.
“No. Why?” He answered, “Because Santa forgot to leave presents! We got
the tree!” I had to explain that Christmas was three weeks away! Chase, 3, San Clemente
