More From the "Context is Everything" Department
More things my toddler has said in public that were hard to explain to strangers (numbers 287 through 291):

I love visiting your blog because you make me laugh out loud!! Kids say the funniest things; I'm always getting strange looks for comments from my three-year-old that only make sense to me & her.
"There's a Canadian on your leg!" That might be the best line ever. And for some reason, much funnier than if there were, say, a Frenchman or a Slav on your leg. Just goes to show you. Canadians are unequivocally funny. And so are toddlers. Now Canadian toddlers... that's a force to be reckoned with!
Heh. One of the most fun things about being a parent, for me, is the verbal precociousness of young kids. Rusty and I try really hard not to react too hilariously to the funny stuff that comes out of Sam's mouth, because we don't want to train him to be one of those obnoxious kids, but man, it's hard sometimes. For every one-liner I've posted here, there are twenty more that I've tried desperately to remember but forgotten. Oh well.
When we were little my dad would tickle us (all in good fun) - but for some reason my little sister called it our daily beatings - made for interesting looks when in public she would ask when we were getting our daily beating!
Dontcha just hate it when there's a Canadian on your leg?
LOL!!!!!!!!! I've been lurking around for a while, but had to chime in here to say this is absolutely hilarious.
You know there's a toddler in your house when most of those one-liners make perfect sense.
I'm blaming Disney's "Snow White" for my three-year-old's fear of little old ladies with canes. "She wants to TILL me!"
How old is the poet?
mernitman, he'll be three in three months.
And speaking of funny toddler sayings, here's a little announcement Sam made at the dinner table last night:
Pointing at Rusty: "You're Luke Skywalker!"
Pointing at me: "You're Darth Vader!"
Pointing back at Rusty: "And you're doomed!"
Out of the mouths of babes, huh?
Your children are, like, crazybrilliant awesome.
"There's a Canadian on your leg!"
