Carter: "Hey mommy, your an idiot!" (in a complimentary voice)

Me: *gasp* "Carter! That is not a nice thing to say!"

Carter: *Confused* "But your a tom tom" (where did this come from? I don't know!) - "Gma told me that is an Idiot."

Gma: (listening from the other room) *Gasp* "No, Carter. I said it is an Indian!"

(Gma and I laugh under our breaths...)

Carter: "Well, then, what's an idiot?"

Gma: "An idiot is someone who isn't very smart, Carter."

Carter: (in deep thought) "Ohhhhhhhh....I know an idiot!"

Gma: (trying to dig herself out of this hole) "No, Carter you don't know any idiots..."

Carter: "Yeah! I do! (excitedly) It's Mason! He's not real smart...."

Gma and I: (laughing too much to correct him again!)

Oh the joys of the "definition" stage. He wants to know the definition of every new word he hears. Gotta love it!
