Finneganisms

My nephew Finnegan just turned 4 years old and he is really smart.  He has such a great vocabulary.  In addition, he is pretty funny without even trying.  Here are some of the funnier things he's said. 

• "I'll say darn if I wanna say darn."
• "I think you're gonna cry."
• When playing school with me, he says that my daddy will drop me off at school.  He makes me go into his room and before he shuts the door, he says:"I think you're gonna cry."   After I cry for a while, much to his amusement, he checks in on me, at which point I say that I want to go home.  He replies: "You have to wait till your mommy picks you up."
• Finnegan asked my sister, "Mommy, is Barbara your friend?"  Nancy replied, "No, Barbara's my sister."  (And I thought I was both....) So I asked Finnegan if Elijah, his little brother, was his friend.  He replied, "No...You know, I'm allergic to nuts."
• While playing cards with a table full of adults, Finnegan said, " Everyone, stop talking.  I'm the game master."
• Of course, I would be remiss to leave out one of the things that he asks me very regularly: "Can I watch Sesame Street?"  Needless to say, I've got the website bookmarked on my computer and have memorized a whole lot of Sesame Street songs, games, and little videos.  Now, whenever I see an actor on TV, the first thing that comes to mind is the Sesame Street skit that he/she appeared in. As my sister puts it, "You know you've made it as a performer when you get to appear on Sesame Street."
