Ro: no! Baby's horn! It's loud!

Conversations with T--Imaginary friends
At bedtime, saying prayers...
Me: "And for Rory's friends, Danny, Xander, Amelia, Zane, Tristan and Rowr."
T: He loves Rowr because he's a dinosaur that's his imaginary friend, and mine is...(loud pause)
Me: It's ok if you don't have an imaginary friend, you know, you're older.
T: No! I do! It's uhhhhh....BUFFALO Marshmallow man! He's cool! and when he cries, marshmallows come out of his eyes.

Conversations with Ro and T--Sunday Morning Quandries
Conversations with Ro--
He insisted on getting "Jesus bread" during communion today. I asked him afterward, out of curiosity,
Me: Ro, do you know what Jesus bread is for? What it means?
Ro: love.
Conversations with T:
T: there's pigeons! Coo! Coo!
Me: where did you learn that, T?
T: nowhere. Sometimes I'm just smart.
