This morning, the kiddos and I were eating breakfast, while I was reading (Bill Bryson's In a Sunburned Country, if you're interested), when all of a sudden, D- began fake-laughing hysterically. Naturally, I was curious, so I said, "What?"
D-: What? [with a completely blank expression, as if he had no idea what I could be asking about]
Me: You were laughing...
D-: Oh, I went [makes random, understated noise & face] to myself and so I laugh-did^. What were YOU laughing about?
Me: I wasn't laughing at all.
D-: Oh.
Fin.
^ This is how D- pronounces most past-tense verbs.

I love this.
Glad to be of service!
I'm catching up with your blog at the end of two weeks visiting with my 4-year-old granddaughter, and it was such a pleasure to be able to laugh out loud (instead of choking on my laugh) at these beautiful gems from the mouths (and hands, in M-'s case) of children without offending the marvelous child who provided them. Thank you, Sir Literal Dan!
