Of course there are endless counts of funny phrases of toddlers published on the net and elsewhere, but maybe not all are told. I'd like to share one little conversation my mum had with my son, some 27 years ago. He is 30 now
Anyway, I tried to raise my kids in a bit of a contemplative indirect way, which can be defined as Poohian, hence my avatar, which can be best described by a quote of "Rabbit" in the the honey tree when pooh got stuck in the door opening after a lavish honey diner:
So son-toddler had obviously listened very carefully to that story when he had this conversation with my mom upon observing a jar with candies:
"Granny, have I told you that I like candies very much?" (Poohian indirect question )
so my mom replies: "Oh yes Toddler I know, but candies make you thick"
So toddler thinks for a while and proclaims: "Hmmm I think that uncle Dick loves candies very much too."
Of course you'd have to know that Uncle Dick, who unfortunately diseased in the spring this year, had quite a distinct beer belly.
Anyway, anybody else sharing unique, not told, before toddler talk?

"I thought at the time", said Rabbit sternly, "only I didn't like to say anything, that one of us was eating too much; and I knew it wasn't me"
