Too much sugar

We made cupcakes today, and upon enjoying his my son maybe appreciated just how much sugar there is in them.

C: (10 y/o): I didn't think I would ever say this, but I think I might have eaten too much sugar!

Don't drink drugs!

S (8 y/o): Why people tell other people to drive safely?

Me: It's a nice thing to say, and Mammy's about to start a long drive.

S: So it's a nice thing to say, like how you tell people going to the toilet to not fall in?

Me: I think that's just something I say. Maybe don't say that to too many people.

S: And it's like how we tell people going to a party, "Don't drink drugs!"

Me: ???

This led to a conversation where she considered that maybe it's okay to eat drugs at a party, but definitely not drink them. I'm not sure what she and her 8-year old friends are getting up to at parties, but I'll be watching her carefully ;-P

Which skull?

There comes a point when the language of the next generation diverges from, and becomes incomprehensible from the generation before. I think we have reached that point in this house, based on the following conversation at the dinner table.

C (12 y/o): If you don't stop, I'll stab you in the skull.

S (8 y/o): Which one?

All children: <loud laughter, almost as if this made sense?!?>
