I'm constantly amazed at how smart kids are these days. Take my 4 year old, Campbell for instance. She was drawing an alligator, but it had 6 legs. My husband said, "Your alligator has 6 legs. They only have 4." Without skipping a beat, Campbell drew 2 more legs and announced, "This is an octigator!" I've gotta say, I was pretty impressed.
Ok, I know I wasn't that quick and that clever at that age. I know, because every time my mom is around my kids, she tells me so. In a loving way, of course. :-)
Would you all like to share some clever kid moments? If so, write away...

As we were leaving the caregiver's house one afternoon, she was lagging behind. I was in a bit of a hurry and snapped at her "to shake a leg!" She promptly stopped walking, stood on one foot and shook the other.
My youngest at 2 1/2 was watching "Little House on the Prairie" and Laura was sad and hurt because her father did not react to something the way she wanted him to. My daughter looked at me and asked "Why is Laura so disappointed?" Needless to say, I just stopped for a moment and asked her to repeat the question.
