A Few Sam-isms

Sam likes to remember where he got each of his toys. If it was a gift, he says the giver's name happily as he plays. We were in his room and I found a race car under his bed. I pulled it out and gave it to Sam, who was thrilled. "Sam, do you remember where that came from?" I asked. Sam looked at me like I was an idiot and said, "Under the bed."

I was sitting rather close to Sam and he was studying my face. He started pointing out and naming my eyes, nose, teeth, cheeks, etc. He pointed at my forehead and said, "Morehead." I tried to correct him, but he just shook his head at me and repeated, "Morehead." Sadly, he is correct.

We were having Jell-O for dessert one night. I had tried a new, hip flavor and it was kind of grossing me out. I asked Sam if he liked it and he said yes. Brightening at not having to throw it all away, I said, "Really, Sam? You like that?" He turned to me and pulled his spoon out of his mouth. "Uh...yeah," he said. "It's JELL-O!" I guess that's all he needs to know to like it!
