Me:  You know the Shard in London?

WK:  Yeah.

Me:  It's now the tallest building in London.

WK:  Huh.  I built the tallest lego tower my school has ever seen.  And I have flown in an airplane into space.  Is the Shard as high as space?

Me:  No.

WK:  So, I look down on it.

WK:  (Crying)  Listen to me!  Listen to me!  I want to tell you what happened!

WK:  Daddy, how big is a Bunkey?

Me:  I don't know what a Bunkey is.

WK:  It's a baby that is half a bunny, half a monkey.

Me:  There's no such thing.

WK:  Ah, but there is such a thing as a Munny.  That's why you have a job.

WK on Marine Engineering

November 19, 2010

WK:  When I'm big, I will build a bridge that goes all around England, then over to Japan, then finally to Ireland.

Me:  Japan is far away, with oceans in between.

WK:  So?  I will drain the ocean and lay down my road.  I will put all the fish in a big tank until the road is done.

Me:  You sure you can do that?

WK:  Stop worrying.  I won't drain ponds or lakes where rabbits and baby deer drink.  I will only drain the ocean.  Animals can't drink salt water, because if they do, a big white shark will eat them.

WK:  Mummy, are you a servant or a member of the family?

Wife:  What?

WK:  I mean, I know you do everything for us, but are you actually a servant or part of the family?

Wife:  I'm your Mother!

WK:  But you never sit down with the family, you get up all the time.  I think you are my servant.

Wife:  I gave birth to you.

WK:  Oh, I forgot about that.
