Purely Hypothetical

The kids were on a roll asking each other hypothetical questions like, "If you could legally buy a moneymaker for five dollars, would you?"

Then Honoria thought she could get in on the fun too,
"If you saw a store that said "moneymakers," and you went inside, and all they had was tiny airplanes, what would you do?"

WHAT WOULD YOU DO!!!??

Honoria defines beef cattle

"Do you know what beef cows are? They are a kind of cows with beef inside."

- Honoria

Cut! What is this nonsense?

I was watching a movie with the kids and Honoria asked me, "Why do they have music playing? And you can't hear them talk?"

You know, one of those scenes where the sun is shining and everyone is happily rafting down the river... to music... and you can't hear what they are saying, but it looks like they are having fun.

Yeah.

Tough questions from Juila

"Where is the longest noodle in the world?"

"What is the deepest creek in the world?"

I wish I had the answers.

Code Monkey not even real toy

This is one from the archives that I never posted, probably from when Anthony was 4 or 5.

Anth: He said "Code Monkey goes to the front desk".
Me: Yup, he did.

Anth: Why is the song called Code Monkey?
Me: Just to be funny.

Anth: Why is the first name of the song Code?
Me: Just to be funny.

Anth: Why is the last name of the song Monkey?
Me: Just to be funny.

Me: Do you like the song?
Anth: I don't like the name. Code Monkeys are not real.
Me: No, they're not real.

Anth: Code Monkeys aren't even real toys!
Me: Nope, they are just pretend for this song.

Anth: Yeah, they're funny.

Mickey Gonzales

Honoria: Do you know what Mickey Mouse does?

Me: No.

Honoria: He runs around... fast.

Julia the literalist

We were at the dinner table last night talking about one of our cats going to the vet the next day. Mindy had called to schedule an appointment and they said they could squeeze her in. Mindy mentioned that phrase "squeeze her in" several times.

Julia, a little later in the conversation, stopped us to get clarification, "Excuse me mommy, where are they going to squeeze Molly?"

It took us a minute to register, but really made us laugh. We tried to explain the situation better to our very literal little girl.
