Reese Quote of the Day

Reese: "I don't feel good mom"
Me: "What's wrong baby?"
Reese: "I have a spider in my brain.... it's gonna break in half.... but it will go away"
Me: "Do you need medicine?"
Reese: "Yeah, will you take my temperature? I think I have a fever"
Me: "Ok buddy"

The logic of a 5 year old.

Reese: "Mom, why is it 'fifteen' and not 'fiveteen'?

I really have no idea why it's fifteen and fifty and not fiveteen and fivety. And why is it that Forty is spelled without the 'u' and the word Four has a 'u' in it? I swear English has to be the most difficult language to learn. There are so many things that are indiscribable... makes no sense what so ever.

Why is 'Read' spelled the same way as its past tense, 'Read' - pronounced 'red'?

How do I explain to him that he can't say "FINE!" in an angry, frustrating tone to me, but the word 'fine' is ok to use?

Although the highlight of my week so far has been when he told me when he saw Suzanne's picture on the coffee table.... "Mom, Suzanne ate too much, that's why she has a baby in her belly"
