My son when he was about 4 or 5:

On seeing a man getting out of a Porsche convertible, asked in a big loud voice , “Dad has that man’s car got no roof because he is poor and can’t afford one?”

The guys face was a picture, made even better when i just replied “that’s right, Son."

TIFU by realizing I taught my son the wrong word for ribs.

A little backstory, So 3 weeks ago I bought a grill and was BBQing ribs(my first time) and they looked GOOD. So when I came back in from checking on them I yelled "Babe them ribs lookin SMACKALICIOUS!"(idk why I chose this word but it was the first one that came to mind) Then my 3 year old son copied me like "lookin mackawicious!" and I was like yeah SMACKALICIOUS! Giving him high fives and me and him was just repeating that they looked SMACKALICIOUS the whole time I was grilling. I didn't think much of it and my wife and I thought it was cute every time he would copy me and say "MACKAWICIOUS!" Now fast forward to yesterday, I grilled ribs again but this time I wasn't as excited as I knew what I was doing and knew they would be good. I never once called them smackalicious or anything of the sort. I pull em off the grill, put em on the island and am letting em cool down a bit when my son walks up to me with his plate and said "daddy can I have some mackawicious?" I was like "huh? some what" and he pointed at the ribs and said " SOME MACKAWICIOUS!" and I just started cracking up and look over at my wife who is shaking her head at me while holding back a laugh. I then put some on his plate and said "no buddy they are called ribs" and he smiles at me and says "nooo its a mackawicious!" So now I have to find out a way to turn the fun word of "mackawicious" into the boring word "ribs".

Him: "I have infinite permission."

my favorite part is that, like, some more complex words, like "applesauce," come out perfectly enunciated, and even others like "cardiologist" come out pretty intelligible with maybe one extra syllable in there. but then you get "gebbedondon" or "gebbedondondon," which naturally is "helicopter"

Another girl was so excited that Mrs Calexio was going to have a baby. Then she looked at me.
"Wait... Mr Calexio, you will have a child too?"
"Uh, yes? That's how it- The baby will be mine and Mrs Calexio's."
"Hmmm."
