Got to spend some time this weekend with my sister and my nephews, ages 5 and 9.

5: What's infinity?

9: That's like the highest number anybody can count up to.

5: Nuh-uh...that's eleventy-million!

*****

5: Why does it say "Gentlemen" on the bathroom door?

9: Because we're in a fancy restaurant, so they say things like gentlemen instead of men and beverages instead of drinks.

*****

9: I don't see what's so special about the Liberty Bell anyway...it's just a broken bell.

5: It's 'cause people can go inside it and breathe in there.

*****

Naturally, the highlight of the horse and buggy ride was when the horse peed.

Image I can't get out of my head: The 5-year-old who marched downstairs in his spongebob boxers and played with his nipples while talking to my sister and I.
