No It cannot.

The other day, my mom was telling my brother that the last time it snowed here (March, 1993) my dad had planted tomatoes because it had been warm all winter and that the first tomato turned red the day it snowed. My brother laughed and said "Why'd they turn red, cuz they were cold?"
He maent it as joke, too. :sweat:

The other day in Mass, my 7 year old brother said to Mom
"Hey, Mom do you know why the sky is blue? Because it's the Blessed Mother's favorite color."

Little children notice all sorts of things and think about all sorts of things. When we want to know where someone or something is or what happened, we ask our 4 year old sister. She's usually on top of things.

Same here with the three year old. it's amazing. I'll be like where's my book? and Dom knows exactly where it is.

Exactly. The only thing you have to be aware of is that, if you start depending on them too much, they might make something up because they don't want to disappoint you.

I remember one time my youngest brother was going down the stairs in a sitting position. It sounded something like this;
'Hail Mary' bump 'full of grace' bump 'pray' bump 'for our sins' bump.
Um, not quite, Timothy: she's supposed to pray for us sinners.

Geniuses? Hardly. More like idiots, maybe.

Nonetheless, I wouldn't be talking about them like this. Kids aren't that smart, but they're smarter than most people think. I remember when I was(am?) a kid I'd pretend to be even stupider than I was, to keep expectations low. I know I'd be [mod] don't say that[/mod] if my parents went on the internet bragging about all the stupid things I'd done that made them so happy.

Woah woah woah woah woah woah.....woah

I noticed my warn level went up to 10% and I'm like, "llo, I think they're on to me!" Then a few hours later I was on again and I realized I can click the link to see why my warn level was increased. It seems I used excessive profanity in this thread. Liek, my bad guys.

Although....I'm pretty sure my point still stands....
