Here are some recent conversations with Eli (4.9 years):
Upon coming home from work one day, Steve told Eli that he was growing up too fast and needed to stop! Eli responded, "Well dad...you want me to change your diapers when you get old don't you? ...Then I need to grow up!"
And then,
The night before homeschool started for this year we asked Eli if he was ready for the school year. Eli said, "Well I already know that 8 + 8 = 2, so I don't really need school!"
