I usually don't go for starting off topic threads, but this I have to share (and I'm not making this up):
Little kids hear words during the holidays they've never heard before. So, they have to work them into their little frames of reference.
Well on Sunday we put up the decorations. Everyone was there from 4 to 21 years old; it was wonderful. On Monday the 5 year old asked me to make him a Lego airplane. It wasn't a knife, but I did it anyway.
Later he came back to show me his modifications:
"... and see dad. Right here it shoots out poison frogs."
"Really?," I ask.
"Yeah, it shoots out poison frogs. When they hit the other guy's plane, it blows up."
"No Kidding," I add.
"Yup, they're called Missile Toads."
