I'm not sure about all the other kids out there, but mine say the oddest, most spectacular things when they are 5, or about to turn 5. Well, no. Sarah started early and hasn't stopped, but that's Sarah for you. Leah is almost 5. Recently I've heard:
"Drat!"
"I got it! When I grow up, I can be your girlfriend! Sound good?" me: "oh, yes! It does!"
"Mommy, you need to change your underwear. If you do not put on new underwear, then you need to change it. You really should change your underwear." (What?? I think she's heard this recently, directed to her.)
"Excuse me! I'm not going bananas over here, but I did ask for some cocoa!" (Leah calls warmed soy milk cocoa.)
"Let's turn our house into a museum!"
"This says 'word', right?"
"Oh! 12 take away 7 is 5, and 12 take away 5 is 7!"
"Catch this, Mom!" (Meaning, look at me while I practice a dance step or some other physical feat.)
"If I have enough money when I grow up, I'm going to be a mommy just like you."

Priceless!! And this makes me miss the kids... the Leah I knew a year and a half ago definitely wouldn't have said any of this.
My 5 year old, while looking at your flood pictures says, "Is that as big as the sea? Is there octopuses in it?"
No, my kids never say anything weird. Must be you!
