"Jraffes Do Outside"

This is Jayden jibber-jabbering while mom is trying to fix him lunch today:). Jayden I love our daily conversations :):):)......

J: Mom I don't like jraffes in duh house. They do outside. Jraffes do outside. I like tigers, but they do outside too. I like to ride tigers outside. And I like to ride elephants outside. And I ride Zebras outside. I like to ride giraffes outside too.
M: Why do the giraffes & the other animals need to go outside?
J: 'tause dey tan 'stroy a house. 'Tause dey big. Dey jump up and 'stroy a house.'
M: Oh, now I see. :):)

(sees mom re-heating pizza in the microwave)

J: Mom tan dey put cereal on a pizza?
M: You want cereal on a pizza? :) (2 of his favorite foods, by the way)
J: Yeh... I wish I had cereal on a pizza.
M: How come?
J: 'tause I like cereal !

J: Mom do you wish this was a dun like dad's? (pointing to a car shade on the table in front of him, which he uses as his gun).
M: No
J: I wish it was a dun like dad's......That'd be a trazy dun.
M: Jayden, you are a little too young to have a real gun. Guns are dangerous.
J: No dey not.
M: Yes, they are Jayden!
J: No dey not. Dad's 'sposed to det the bad duys with duh duns.
M: No he's not. That's not dad's job. That's a job for a policeman. The police catch the bad guys & take them to the police station.
J: No dey not. It's dad's job. Dad shoots the bad duys.
M: Jayden, what you see on t.v. isn't real, bud. We don't go around shooting bad guys.
J: (a very determined) Yes, we do.
(((Oh boy, I've got my work cut out for me this time!)))

And for those people who thing television is not to blame for our children thinking like this, you're on crack!!!

Just a side note: I honestly wish they would stop putting adult cartoons on regular t.v. channels. My kids think every cartoon is a kids cartoon. I have to constantly monitor what they're watching. (Worst cartoons: The Simpson's & Family Guy, among others.)
