Here's tonight's Nicholasism as we drove home from Grandma's and Grandpa's house:
Nicholas, "Mommy, LOOK! A train! Can we stop to take a picture?"
Me, "I can't pull off the highway right now, but that is a neat train!"
N, "What's in that train and what is it for?"
Me, "That's coal. It's used by some things for fuel similar to how fire works in a fire place."
N, "Oh, well that's a lot of coal."
Me, "Yeah, some people would say that's what naughty kids get in their stockings from Santa."
N, "Well I guess that's where it's going then, to the North Pole getting ready for Christmas."
:)
He is so adorable!!!! He'll never find coal in his stocking! Love the acceptance and the trust and the matter-of-fact reply. Wasn't it obvious where that train was going? Destination North Pole! Love it!
