Things Our Son Says

Cole is in to Spiderman and Elmo. I'm trying to wean him off of Elmo (Who wants their son to be in love with a wussy, girl-talking monster puppet when they can idolize completely fake and unrealistic super heroes? Come on!) and so for his birthday last month, we bought him quite a few Spiderman things, including a little plastic plate set that has silverware, etc. The plate is one of those kiddie plates with the different sections on it.

Now, to the point of this post. The other night we were eating corn for dinner. Cole loves corn. He also pronounces it "porn". So, as he cleared out the little section of his plate that had corn on it, revealing the Spiderman logo on his plate, he said, "More porn please."

Which of course caused a smirk and a chuckle from Jen and I. And then to top it off, he pointed to where it said Spiderman and said, "More Spiderman porn please." I lost it. It was hilarious. Of course, I had to ask him to repeat himself (I know, I know, I'm a horrible father, laughing at my son's speech impediments) which caused more laughter (mostly from me - Jen's way better than this).

So, that begs the question. Do I really want my son getting into Spiderman if that's what he's asking for?
