Averyisms: Two year old chatter

Our 2 year old daughter Avery is very talkative and has a great vocabulary for someone who is 30 inches tall.  These are some of the tidbits we heard on our short 4 day vacation.

On this recent vacation, after a dinner out, I brought a drink with me in a portable cup.  On the drive back to our vacation condo, Avery sees me drinking, (lemonade), and she asks, "Daddy, why are you drinking and driving?"

All of the kids love candy.  After a dinner out we took all the kids to a famous candy store and let them choose a small "bag" of whatever attracted their eyes.  Avery guarded her candy and held it close to her body.  She looked at me and said, "I am going to save some for next year."  Soon after, she corrected herself and said, "I am going to save this candy for Halloween."

We chose to drive back from the vacation during nap time.  We went out for dinner and then drove back to our house.  When Avery got out of the car she was horrified and shrieked, "Noooooo, not this house."

Where do babies come from? 2

A few weeks ago our 5 year old triplets had a sudden interest in the topic, "Where do babies come from?"  I will briefly recap the previous post and then add the follow up.

It so happened that at this same time Audrey, their mom, recently read a parenting article that detailed a good way to tell the kids how babies are made and said that we are at a good age to begin the discussion. One dinner, Darcy one of the triplets most interested in figuring out this mystery again asked, "Where do babies come from?"

Using her "parenting article" as her resource, Audrey told the kids, "Mommy has eggs, like a chicken, and Daddy has sperm, and when the egg and sperm get together, the baby begins to grow".  Darcy frowned at Audrey and said, "no no no Mommy, I want to know where people babies come from".

Now a few weeks later Darcy is still struggling with the mystery of where babies come from.  Again at the dinner table, out of the blue she yells, " Do babies come from eating a lot of food, or what?"
