What's a Tsunami?

During afternoon snack the other day, I overheard this conversation between Ethan and his best buddy, Dylan....
Dylan: Did you know that there's a tsunami?
Ethan: Are tsunamis coloring books?
Dylan: No. They wreck up things. They are bad, bad, bad. If you go to one, you will get really hurt.
I'm not surprised that Ethan didn't know about tsunamis. I watch the news in the morning, before he's awake, but why did he think they are coloring books?!

Really, Really Strong!

Don't you just love those moments when little ones get really excited about something and talk with such emotion! Ethan was doing just that the other night! Here's part of the story he was telling Josh:
"I'll be really strong when I get your age, cuz you're really strong.....really, REALLY strong! If I call for help you can come with your gun.....I mean your potato gun, and you can load it with potatoes and blast what the problem is!"

Out of Luck

Last night, Ethan was helping Josh make fajitas for supper. From the other room, I could hear him telling Josh that he wanted his chicken plain, with no seasoning or vegetables. Josh must have just started mixing everything together, because then I heard Ethan say, "Dad, am I out of luck or will I not have any on mine?"
F.Y.I. He was out of luck, but he actually liked it anyway!
