From the absurd to thought provoking...quotes by Little b

Mama, why can people say "Shut the door," and they can say "Go up the stairs," but if I put shut and up together it is a bad word?

Followed by...

And Mama, if you take part of shut and the new word I learned today, it, you can make another even more terrible word?  That's what Abdul told me.

And you love the word fun, mama, and you love the sun but you really don't love the word (he spells this part of course) G.U.N.  Why mama?

Mama, you took me to nounou Lien (the orphanage nanny) and left me there.  Didn't you mama.  My Vietnam mom and dad didn't.  you did.

Me: No sweetie.  I didn't.  Why do you think that.

In my blue book mama.  I'm up on the balcony and you are waving goodbye to me.  You left me there.

Me, lightbulb moment:  Oh sweetie!  I got to meet you for the very first time on (what day of the week was that again?) but Nounou Lien needed a bit more time to cuddle you and tickle you and love you so I had to leave you there for one more night.  I waved goodbye to you.  And then, on (whatever the next days name was) I hurried back to nounou Lien, we dressed you up nice and warm and very handsome, just like Nounou Lien wanted, and you came with me forever and ever.

Oh!  I get it now!

***Theme change***Again***

Mama, I've been wondering.  What happens when two tornados morph together?  Can a double power tornado pick up a cow?  And a truck?  And a house?  All at the same time?

And can we move to a place near a big sea so I can see a hurricane?  A super sized one?  I think that would be so interesting.

Acutally, mama, I'd like to see a tornado, a hurricane and the eruption of a gigantic lava flowing volcano all at the same time.  Can a double sized tornado pick up molton lava?  Will the hurricane make the lava turn to rock faster?
