I cannot help but imagine what goes through my children's minds sometimes. One of those times that stands out to me from recent months occurred during a conversation between my husband and our 5 year old son.
To set the scene, my husband was playing Star Wars The Old Republic on his computer and, like always, our youngest son likes to stand next to him to watch all the in-game happenings. Well, our son must have asked to play my husband's character because then I heard him telling our son how to make the character jump.
My husband: "You just push this big button right here."
Our son: "That's called the space bar!"
What I imagined our son to have been thinking at that moment . . .
"I can't believe you didn't know that! I thought you were smart. Are you sure you work in IT?"
This is so cute. It reminds me of when my cousin was 3 or 4 and we were at the zoo/aquarium and she was naming all the animals. Best part is when she turns to me and says, "That one is a manatee."

Kids say the darnedest things right? Sometimes I am surprised at the things my niece knows for such a young age.

They get smarter every year... pretty soon they will come out of the womb smarter than we are.
It's just frightening. =/
