What he said

I'm always forgetting to write down the hilarious things the kids say. And sometimes writing it down doesn't convey the tone, inflection or mispronunciation of what was said. So, while it is still fresh, where is what Xander has said in the past 24 hours.

Last night we watched America's Funniest Videos with the kids. They tend to have a lot of commercials about Disney World, which led to Xander asking "When can we go to Disney World?"
Chris: "When Hannah is big enough to enjoy it."
Xander: "But we'll have another baby by then!"
(No clue how he got that idea!)

Then a segment of the show came on where a participant had to guess from a multiple choice list what a kid was going to say next. It showed a girl listing what people wanted for Christmas. It paused when the girl got to her father and the multiple choices appeared with the first choice being 'a vasectomy.' Chris and I cringed. Then we cringed some more as the participant repeated the word 'vasectomy' about five hundred more times. And they played the clip and the girl did say 'a vasectomy.' And then Xander asked "What's a vasectomy?"

Fortunately, Chris and I ignored him for ten seconds and the showed moved on and he was laughing at the next video.

Today, in the van, Xander suddenly brought up when he was 'still in my belly.'
Xander: "Mom, how did I get out of your belly?"
Me: *pause* ....*thinks of something vague but accurate*... Mom's have a special way for babies to come out.
Xander: Did it hurt?
Me: Yes, a little. But it was totally worth it because now I have you.
