It's true what they say, kids sure can "say the darnedest things." My four year old twins can be hilarious as they pick up on the "adult world" and begin to apply the things they see to their life.
I've always tried to teach them manners as they grow. Nothing out of the ordinary, just your normal, "thank you, you're welcome, excuse me, and yes mam, no mam." Now like I said they are only four, that being the case they have to be reminded, constantly.
Yesterday was like every other, as the boys were coming downstairs for breakfast (still waking up) I asked them my repetitive question for the morning, "Are you hungry yet?" Now keep in mind, they may be young, but they're not ignorant! When the answer came barreling out of Connor, "Yes, I'm am," I carefully reminded him, "Yes, mam." I still don't know if he was trying to be smart with me (because I constantly remind them), or if he was mad (from still being partially asleep), but what I do know, is how badly I needed to have a video camera running at that moment when his response to my correction came sternly roaring back, "Yes mam, Captain."
I have to admit, all I could do at that moment was cover my laughter and head for the kitchen!

That is so funny! I'm sure you could write a book about all the funnies you experience with your children. My son adores all the little ones in your life too. He talks about them and tells me about the cute things they say all the time. He's already calling your nephews, HIS nephews!
There are so many funny things little ones say. You have a fun job!!
Haha. I bet that did make you giggle...*grin*
