out of our mouths #1

I've started collecting::remembering little snippets of things we say that when I think about them, they sound bizarre (or sweet). When we ask Ari where he got a particular saying or heard something from that he's just repeated to us - he says it came from his mouth. Kids are so literal about everything, I love that. Adults start to need naming and explaining things, whereas kids just take things as they see::hear them.
"Lets pick snot" ::Ari, with his finger jammed up his nose, said very casually to Ash the other day in the car::
"A brick is not a toy" ::Sylve said to Ash, who was pushing a brick around the sandpit where little kids where playing::
"How could you have lost your pyjama top, when you were wearing it?" ::Anouk to Sidi, while I was talking on the phone to her one night::
"No, not a cute shirt. A cool shirt" ::Ari's response to me asking Sam to dress him in a cute shirt to go out for dinner. He puts his sunglasses on upside down and thinks he's a cool dude::

That's all I can remember for now, but I'll try to file those little moments of conversations we have, somewhere in my brain where I can find them again! I would love to hear your moments of silliness, cuteness or simply "can't believe I just said that".
