Colton Has Deep Thoughts

C: Do you like eating chocolate every day?
Me: I do!
C: But it's not healthy for me. It's only healthy for 1 in 100 kids and girls.
Me: And I don't make the cut, eh?
C: But you can eat fruit!
Me: I do eat fruit every day!
C: Did you hear that Sid can't eat cake every day? [Sid the Science Kid on TV]
Me: Yeah, that would probably make his tummy sick.
C:  Yeah, you have to eat lots of 'tritious foods like fish, and chicken, and tortellini and I don't know the rest.
Me: Those are some pretty 'tritious foods. 

C: How old will Jordan be when I'm 5?
Me: 5 and a half.
C: But I don't want him to be!  I want to be older!
Me: Sorry, buddy. 
C: FINE, then I won't play with him or be his friend! 
Me: He would be very sad if you weren't his friend anymore.  And so would Mama, and Sarah, and Nana.
C: But I want to be older than everyone!
Me: Well, who would be your mommy if you were older than everyone?
C: Daddy and I could be the daddies and you could be the mommy. 
Me: But not if you're older than me.  I'd be the baby.
C: I just want to be 1 and 100 first! 
Me: Okay, you do that. 

C: Ooh, Mom, I have a marvelous idea! We could build that train track! 

Me: Do you remember what we're having for dinner?
C: I decided that I get to decide!
