Talking about the stairs in our house - with a landing halfway down
DS: Why are there 2 lots of stairs?
Me: So its not as steep.
DS: The ladies fixed it, did they?
Me: Why do you think ladies fixed it? Why not men?
DS: Because its too hard for the mens.
We were watching an old episode of Harry's Practice when DS (renowned for his imaginative play) decides he wants to play Dr Harry...off he goes to get his hat and shoes. He comes back and asks, 'Hello. Do you have a pet with a problem?'
Me: 'Why yes. I think it's in here' and head to his bedroom to get a stuffed toy. I hand him a toy dog and say, 'here's my sick pet. Can you help her?'
DS: 'actually, that's not a real pet. It's just a stuffed toy. Where's your real pet?'
Me: 'uh...?'
DS: leans over and picks up an invisible pet....'Here's your pet dog. This (touching the toy) is JUST a pretendy toy.'

DS sometimes pulls me up during imaginative play, because a couple of his toys apparently can't talk, because they're toys ... All the rest can! But there's a couple who apparently can't ...
DS1 woke me up by sitting on my chest and getting his plastic toy monkey tangled in my hair, then said, "Mummy! Robots don't wear shoes!!" and then went to the toilet.
DS was pretending to be Mummy (and I had to pretend to be him). I asked him to get me out a plate so I could have some morning tea.
His reply? 'Sorry DS, I can't. Mummy can't bend over very well anymore because I have a big tummy. You'll have to do it for me.'
He's now taken to putting a stuffed bear under his shirt when we play this game - for authenticity!
DS (26 months): Baby is hungry Daddy. You give the baby milk with your boobies?
DH: (looks alarmed) No, not mine!
DS: (seems to take his cue from how alarmed DH looked) No. Might suck a big hole in you. Then baby might fall in. ????!!!!
DS: Can't go to bed any more Mummy.
Me: No? Why not?
DS: A silly man poured paint in my cot.
