My almost 6 year old was sick last night and was sleeping in my bed. When he woke up I asked him if he wanted some books to read. He said, okay, but to please close the door because it was too bright. I told him that if I close the door, it will be too dark for him to read. He said, he could read in the dark because he's dark Rolling Eyes

...HUH? (He's not even that dark, but compared to my other kids, he is and he's the only one of my kids who tan, not burn.) I told him that doesn't make any sense, which he knew, so he changed it. He said he can see in the dark because he has big eyes. Rolling Eyes

In the end, I closed the door and he went back to sleep.

He once asked me why babies are cute. I told him because they're little and little things are cute and when they do things, they don't do it to be cute, they just do it. Well, he's cute anyway Wink

he doesn't read, just looks at the pictures

I love funny conversations with kids!
Middle of the night is especially conducive to cuteness Wink

My 2.5 year old once woke up in middle of the night and announced, "When I was a very very very very small baby, I went to the doctor without shoes." Confused
