You never know...

One of the best parts about raising kids, as everyone with children knows, is to listen to them as they increase their vocabulary... funny phrases, invented words... you know the drill.

Not long ago Nate learned what a calculator was. He was fascinated it could do all of his adding and subtracting for him, and he wanted to keep it. "Uhmmmmmm... no" I think was my reply. After some explanation of why he couldn't use a calculator yet, he finally gave up and forgot about it, or so I thought.

The other day we were all together and Nate was working with numbers... counting something I think. Then out of nowhere he says, "Guys, we need a copulator. Where's the copulator?"

You never know what's going to come out of their mouths next.
