From the Mouths of Babes

Recently, Bry has been conjuring up some interesting theories about the world and how it works, as well as the parameters within which he'd like it to operate. He's also just been saying some funny things. Here's a sampling of some of his more endearing thoughts:

On giraffes: "The mama giraffe has a baby giraffe in her tummy. That's why she's so tall."

On being asked if he'd like a sister or brother: "Someday."

On what he'd like for dinner at grandma and grandpa's house: "Ribs. And corn and broccoli. And bacon."

On mimicking mama, who commented one day, "What's up with all of this traffic?": "What is up with it?"

On being asked what he did at school: "All of the things." Or, "No."

On the physiology of turtles: "Turtle is drinking water. It's going in his shell. Turtles don't make BMs."

On the physiology of people: "The food goes in your mouth. Then in your tummy. Then in your little intestine. Then in your large intestine. Then out your bottom!"

On being asked not to yell: "BRY WANTS TO YELL!"

On being chastised for further yelling: "Bry is being respectful!"

On the seasons: "All the snow is melted! It's springtime!"

On being told that 47 is not the same as 74 (for example): "Bry wants it to be 74!"

On being persuaded to start any new activity: "Bry not want to [insert activity here]!"

On being told it's time to stop said activity: "Bry not want to stop [insert activity here]!"

On being asked why he is throwing a toy, a stuffed animal, a blanket, etc.: "Because Bry is throwing it!"

There's just no arguing with that kind of logic.

Did Bry seriously make that physiology comment? If so, then I guess that's what happens when you have 2 science geniuses as parents! WOW!
