Oh Joe!

I need to start writing more of the things Joe says. I guess it's just become natural to hear him say "air brained" things, so it doesn't really phase me anymore, or catch me off guard. I decided to start paying more attention to his "mix ups" and start writing them down.
So, starting with the most recent:
Last night we are all sitting eating dinner. Ben had made a beautiful and delicious salad full of all kinds of veggies, including a new family favorite: beets!
So as we were all eating our salad I expressed to the children how proud I was of them for eating healthy and liking veggies. This started the following conversation:
CJ: I know a kid at school who won't eat any vegatables except corn. He loves corn but no other kind of vegatable.
Ben: Actually, corn's not really a vegatable
CJ: Yeah it is!
Ben: No, it's really a grain.
Camerin: Actually, it's a fruit.
Ben: Hey, maybe you're right Camerin!
Camerin: Yeah, because it has those yellow seed things that you eat, on the outside of it... you know, those things?
Joe: (as he rolls his eyes at his little sisters "spupidity" for not knowing what they are called) "They're called urinals, Camerin!"

After Ben and I busted up, Joe realized his mistake and corrected it... Poor Kid, he gets it from me unfortunately!
