Pithy Responses

Jack has said some amusing things over the past few days. He's seen some commercials for kid's toys on the Cartoon Network and immediately responds with, "I want that!" Madison Avenue definitely speaks Three Year Old, I'm afraid. I'm impressed the way these commercials make some of these toys appear like the Funnest Thing Ever. One day, he saw back-to-back toy commercials and got overwhelmed; "I want that. I want that." Then he paused, looked at me and said, "I want everything."

Today, we told Jack that he was going to get a new baby brother or sister in June. My attractive wife asked him, "Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" Jack replied, "It will be orange."

"What a great time!"

Several times since coming home, Jack has surprised me with a pithy phrase appropriate to the situation at hand. On several occasions he's said he needed something, like a different toy, and said, "I'll be riiiiiight back!"

Yesterday at the park we stayed longer than usual. When I said it was time to head back I put him in the stroller and he said, "What a great time!"

Where does he get this material?
