Word Associations

Cannon has a good sense of word association...
For instance, as we pulled into the airport on our way to Texas he asked:

"Are we going to stay in the ho-show-and-tell tonight?"
"What was that?"
"Are we going to stay in the HO-SHOW-AND-TELL tonight?!?"

When we got back he asked if he could take one of his toys to school for "ho-show-and-tell." Apparently the word works well in either situation!

Today was "It's a Small World" day at school where kids got to talk about their heritage or culture and dress up accordingly. We thought it would be fun for Cannon to talk about some of his Cannon family ancestors so we told him about Captain George Cannon, who some say was a pirate, and George Q. Cannon the pioneer. So, Cannon was all dressed up as a pirate/cowboy and I was quizzing him on his grandfathers...

"Who was your pirate Grandpa?"
"Captain Jack Sparrow!"
"Who was your pioneer grandpa?"
"George Q. Barbeque!"

Prison break!


Fortunately we caught the incident before the inmate could escape. His accomplice was sentenced to a doubly long timeout. He is now on parole, having sworn to never use scissors on anything but paper, and only with adult supervision.

The fire extinguisher does not appear to have been used as an instrument of the attempted escape.
