While eating dinner, Tom reached for his napkin, but accidentally started grabbing the one belonging to James. James quickly grabbed it and Tom said, "Oh. That's yours. Sorry." Then he rhetorically stated, " I don't understand why people are so possessive over napkins. I don't even care if I have a napkin."
James, in an expressionless voice, countered with, "Wow. That explains a lot."

The Sidekick
James and I were sitting quietly in the living room when he asked, "Mom, if you were a superhero, would you want a sidekick?"
I said, " I don't know. Would you be my sidekick?"
He said, "Nah. I'm more of a solo guy."

That "Guy"
Danny has a habit of starting a conversation in mid thought. I often have no context by which to fully understand his question or statement.
Just recently Danny, James, Katie, and I were in the car for quite a long ride. After a few different conversations, we sat quietly listening to the radio for a few miles. Then Danny suddenly asked, "Mom, who is that guy that you always ask for help?'
I laughingly replied, "Ummm, your dad?"
He said, "No. Really. I mean that guy that you sometimes ask for help with stuff. Remember that time we were really late and you couldn't find a parking spot, so you asked that guy?"
Realizing what he was referring to, I asked him, "Do mean St. Anthony? When I need help finding something?"
He excitedly replied, "YEAH! That's him!"
