People from the Olden Days
We're in the kitchen, talking about different expressions people use when someone sneezes, while C does his best to avoid emptying the dishwasher.
Me: "In Germany, when someone sneezes, you say 'Gesundheit', which means 'good health' - even though sneezing usually doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you. I guess people in the olden days didn't know as much about medicine as we do now."
C (8 y/o): "But Daddy, aren't you one of the people from the olden days?"

S (6 y/o, shouted while running down the stairs): It's okay! I'll use the scary bathroom!

Memory lapse
S (6 y/o): I'm good at hugging... except that one time I forgot.
Me: That sounds serious. What happened?
S: I forgot how to hug Mummy.
Me: Oh dear. Did you have to take some medicine or something?
S: Oh no. I just remembered again.

Trust
S (6 y/o, while under the kitchen table for some reason): Oh no! There's dirt stuck to my pyjamas. I knew I shouldn't have trusted these pyjamas.
