Conversations with Finn

Proof that the saying "kids say the darndest things" is spot on.

In the grocery store

"Dad, that man's standing up asleep."

The man was actually blind, not asleep. Finn drove the point home by repeating himself over and over, louder and louder, until Mark said they had a "teachable moment" when he explained that the man wasn't asleep, he was blind and his eyes were hurt so he couldn't see. To which Finn responded, "that blind man's asleep."

Talking to his Mimi and Bop

"I've got Woody on my butt."

Inspecting himself and his new Toy Story pj's while talking on the computer with his grandparents.

While Changing his Diaper

"Mom, I need some butt paste."

Getting in Trouble

"Noooo, mommy Lyles."

After calling him repeatedly to sit down for his music class, I brought out the I'm-using-your-last-name-so-I-mean-business voice, Finn Lyles, sit down right now.

On the Playground

"No ma'am you can't have my truck."

When a little girl reached for the truck he was holding, he snatched it away and screamed "no." I told him that it wasn't a nice way to treat his friend.

At Trader Joe's

"I'm eating my boogers."

When he was being really still and quiet in his stroller, I asked him what he was doing.

In the Shower

"Dad, that's a nice penis."

This may fall under the TMI category, but it's really funny, so I had to include it. Sorry Mark!
