You Heard it Here First.

Tizzy: I'm five. How old are you?

Me: I'm 36.

Tizzy: 36!?

Me: That's right. Does that seem old or young to you?

Tizzy: Well, you're not an OLD LADY, so it must be young.

Silence while thinking.

Tizzy: You're just one of those tall young people.

Me? See, I'm short, so I guess I get to be eternally young?

No wonder "a little child shall lead them..."
The ULTIMATE in tact!

The kid is a genius. Either that, or he knows where his next meal is coming from..

Oh I love it!

My son insists that I'm only 21 (he picked that age because he knows I think it's young but I suspect he thinks it's very very old...)

I love it! I want to qualify as a tall young person too!

My son is freaking out because his daddy is turning 40 this summer and he's really worried he's going to die because he'll be old. Although it's morbid, and I'm working hard to reassure him that 40 is not a death sentence, I secretly love to rub it in to my hubby!

What a charmer...

That is the best!! I have my son convinced that I am 31 - which drives my husband crazy for some reason. Maybe because Jake is sure of his Daddy's age and likes to remind him about it!

Hey! I'm taller than you!

Tizzy is going to make someone very happy one day when he grows up and gets taller!

What a good boy, what a great thing to say to his mama. Love kiddy logic.

One time my nephew -- who was about 4 or 5 -- was sitting next to my husband in the back seat of the car. Jimmy looked at his own legs, sticking straight out, and at Bill's legs, which, you know, bent, and reached the floor, and said, "Uncle Bill, you're huge."
