4.5 year old conversations

I turned off the radio tonight because I was so intrigued by what N was saying:  I just love his thought process, how innocent, but complex, and without fear and expectation.  I wanted to write  down what he said so I could come back to age 4.5.  It makes me smile!

N to J: "I want to live even after everyone I know has died. "

J:  "You don't want to do that."
Me:  Wouldn't you be sad to have all your friends and family gone?"

N:  "Nope, I would just eat more and play longer.  I would eat so much and play for the longest time ever."

Me:  Well, ok! 

N:  "The tree that doesn't get the most water and the most sun is the smallest.  It's good to be the smallest because then you don't bend."

He heard the word fortunate on the radio.  

N:  "Mama, what does fortunate mean?  

Me:  "Lucky."

N:  "We are so fortunate.  We have a warm house, lots of toys and plenty of food to eat."
