More Caleb-isms

Caleb was trying to convince me to let him drink soda one day.
I said: "No Caleb, too much soda is bad for you."
He responded with: "No it's not! Dad said it makes you STRONG!"
Me: "No way! When did he say that?"
Caleb: "He was drinking soda yesterday and I heard him say, 'That is some strong stuff!!!"

In preschool Caleb is learning both Spanish and sign language. One day Caleb holds up his hand in the "I love you" sign, with pinky and pointer fingers up and says, "This means GOOD right?" I (knowing it meant I love you) said, "Yup that it really nice!" Then Caleb holds up his middle finger by itself and goes, "And this means BAD!" Oh boy. Where did he learn THAT????

I was singing, "Row, Row, Row Your Boat" with Caleb. He was still trying to learn all the words. I kept singing at the end, "Life is But a Dream!" and he wasn't getting it and he kept singing, "Life is JUST a dream..." but I kept repeating it the right way. Then he finally sings, "Life is just a butt dream....!" So close.

We were having a discussion about food one day and the boys were eating corn with their meal. Caleb asks: "Which animal poops out corn???"
Me: "No animals poop out corn. It grows from the ground. The only time an animal poops out corn is if an animal has eaten corn.We don't eat animal poop."
Caleb: "Well chickens poop out eggs and we eat them."
Me: "Kind of, but it's different."
Caleb: "And cows poop out milk and we drink it."
Me: "Well...no, it's not exactly their poop."
Caleb: "And pigs poop bacon right???"
Me: "No, no, pigs ARE bacon. We are eating the pig. Does that sound disgusting?"
Caleb: (shrugs) "It's very yummy though!!!"

Guess after all that potentially scarring conversation, he really doesn't care what he's eating as long as it tastes good.

Also, funny side note, I found Caleb one day playing spies by himself and talking about, "Enter the secret code to get in the door," then he would press "buttons" on something and flip it closed and jump around like he was a spy entering a room. He would even talk into this device like a walkie talkie. I was wondering what cool toy had him so occupied. Upon closer inspection I realized, it was a package of my birth control pills.
