It's funny how 3 year olds take everything so literal. I know that this is the only way they know how to take things, but it's still funny. Depending on answering a question, Lukas's interpretation of something, or just learning about the world in general my husband and I find ourselves smiling at each other sometimes when it comes to Lukas. I have 3 examples...
Example #1: If we say it more than once...it must be like that all the time. When we (my husband and I drive to work together) pick Lukas up from daycare he used to beg "drive fast Daddy!" Chris would tell Lukas "we can't Buddy we are in town." So he would rev the engine and Lukas would giggle. Fast forward a month or two and Chris will rev the engine to get a response out of Lukas and Lukas hollers back at him "Daddy we're in town!" He will repeat himself over and over. It's very funny!
Example #2: Everything is exactly what it is. This last Saturday we were heading out to go shopping and use up a gift card for lunch the next town over. Well before we left Chris wanted to stop and get something to drink. Lukas chimed in "Daddy I want something to drink too!" So Chris went in and got them both something to drink. He brought back Lukas a juice box, but Lukas didn't see it when he got into the car. Chris got into the car and Lukas says "Hey, Daddy I wanted something too!" He looked back at Lukas and said "Don't worry I got you something Chief!" Lukas looked at him puzzled and said, "Daddy you got me a chief?" We laughed and Chris told him "no Lukas you are chief...I called you chief" as he handed him his juice box. Lukas just smiled and looked at his juice box, "this is a chief!" Another funny moment!
Example #3: That same shopping day we were walking into Herbergers department store, and Lukas asked me "Mommy who is this store?" I told him this store is Herbergers. (The sign on the front of the store has a flower next to the name.) He then told me, "no it's not Mommy, they don't have burgers here." He pointed to the sign and said, "see they sell flowers." I just agreed with him, because by this point it's much easier to just agree! When we walked into the store he asked where the flowers were, and he also had to point out "see no burgers Mommy." So wise...my little boy!
