Kids say the darnest things...

Some of us members have little kids or remember when your kids were small...here's my story. My son is 3.5yrs old and this spring I built a Star Wars MOC to surprise him, even mom didn't have a clue I turned one of our rooms into Lego fun room. So a MOC is never truly 100% done so I showed it to him anyways...he was excited walking around the table looking at all the pieces and minifigs. Only missing Darth Vader and I need to open an Empire Strikes Out dvd for him...but at one end of the table is a 'bad guys' base with conference room, table + chairs etc. Seated are Darth Maul, Palpatine, Asajj Ventress, Count Doku, Nute Gunray and Savage Opress. My son says 'Darth Vader is having a birthday party!' that just made me laugh. He also noticed the storm troopers outside the room standing guard and said 'we need more chairs for the storm troopers.' How cute. Guess as a parent we think our kids are funny/cute. Once in a while I go check out the MOC and see my son has moved minifigures to where he think's they should be...any empty seats are filled haha. For some reason he takes Lego food (pizza/drum sticks) from the Rebel base to the 'dark side' all the time hehe. To my surprise compared to his other toys he's actually pretty gentle with Lego and if friends come over, he always moves minifigures back to where 'they belong' in his mind. Recently he help me put together an Ewoks Attack set to add to the MOC...good for fine motor skills and imagination I tell me wife :) Think a Tower Bridge is too much for the litte guy? JK. Members have any amusing stories?
