Kids Say the Darndest Things

Jeffery has become quite the big boy and is now beginning to spend the night with his Michi and Papa. He used to "spend the night", which involved him packing his bag and going over to spend the evening and then return home when it was bedtime.

But now he stays the entire night. Yea!!

Okay, back to the story at hand. He spent the night with them last night. He did his little nightly routine when he stays there: bath, story, call mom and dad to say goodnight, then lay in bed with Michi and drift off to sleep. Well my mom told me today that while they were lying in bed, Jeffery kept rubbing his eyes (he has had a bit of allergies here lately) and she told him "Stop rubbing your eye buddy, you are going to irritate it." To which he replied, " Meech, it's not "earitated", It's "eyeitated"."

I thought that was just too cute!! I love how little children hear things so literally and they just really give you a brand new perspective on things that you never would have thought. He was dead serious when he said this, so my mother didn't laugh, she just agreed that he was right (but she was really laughing hard inside). It's funny how their precious little ears hear things.
