way past their bedtime

Ever wonder what three-year-olds talk about at a sleep over?

Yeah, me neither, but it's pretty funny anyway. Here's a snatch of Juma and his friend Zachary's 45-minute conversation lying in bed.


Juma starts, Zachary is indented:

You lost your soccer ball? How could you DO that?

       A alligator ate it.

A alligator took it?

       No, it crushded (sic) it.

Oh.

       Like, [crushing noises] CRUSH! It goes in the water.

Crocodiles don't like mine. I have two soccer balls, small one and a big one. I don't have three. That's it. Why did you don't like Dasanya? [Lasagna]

       Because it's yucky for me.

It's not yucky for me.

       Michael [brother] plugged his nose and he ate it. He said, "Mommy,        I don't want Lasagna."

Just taste it. You'll like it!

       My mom said that.

You probably hear these funny conversations all the time. It's so funny to hear how kids just say whatever comes into their mind.
