Tears of a clown

Sam was crying and then all of the sudden he got hysterical. I asked him what was wrong. 

S: I'm really sad I can never catch my tears. 

Me: What are you trying to catch them with?

S: My tongue. They always go wide.

Me: Why are you trying to catch them?

Sam: Because they really taste weird and I like to catch them. And I never seem to catch them - they always go wide. Why can my tongue not go wide?

My boy has big dreams. 

My wordsmith

Sam was writing a 'book'. 

S: I'm going to be the illustrator. 

Me: Are you going to be the writer AND the illustrator?

S: What's a writer?

Me: The person who writes the story. 

S: Oh. You mean the author. 

I got schooled. 

Tears of a Clown

Sam was crying and Daniel was curious...

D: Do your tears taste good?

S: Yeah. But they also taste weird. 

Snack time

S: Some people have brown skin and some people have white skin. (pause) If you eat too much chocolate your skin turns brown.

Apparently i've been trying REALLY hard to turn my skin brown. It isn't working.
