Out Of The Nephew’s Mouth – Part V

So I went out to Vantaa yesterday to visit my brother and his kids. It was Sunday, the stores were closed, so we decided to take a little walk to the local kiosk to get us some cookies.

On the way back my brother was thinking out loud, looked in my direction and said: “What’s the date for today? The 27th, 28th maybe?” I said I wasn’t sure so I should check the calendar in my cell phone.

Benjamin, my 5 year old nephew, heard this, and being the witty little dude he is he looked at his father and said:

“You have to come to my school. We learn things there. And we also have a calendar and every morning somebody rips off a new piece of paper and you can see what the date is.”

Out of The Nephew’s Mouth – Part IV

Benjamin and I were talking yesterday.

I: Oh, hey, did you know I’ll be driving those really big trucks again?

Benjamin: Uh-huh. Hey, did you know my dad is in driving school? We’re getting a car!

I: Yep, I did know that. But let’s be honest. Isn’t it cooler to drive big trucks than boring ol’ small cars?

Benjamin: Uh-huh, because you get more radio channels. Because in a truck there is more room… for all the buttons.

Ah, yes. Of course! I never thought about that. Kids are the greatest, you just gotta love ‘em.
