an unusual request

"Mom, could come to the bathroom with me? I'm going to need you in there." "Really?" I asked, "What for?". He replied "I want company while I poop." I laughed, of course, even though he was totally serious. And then I went and sat in the hallway outside the bathroom while he relieved himself. He chatted with me and then thanked me for my company and dismissed me to return to whatever I was doing.

This morning, after I'd peeled him from the bed, he assured me he would get dressed quickly. Nevertheless, as I was gathering backpack, lunchbox, and car keys, he came running into the living room. He was completely naked. He leapt onto the couch, twirled around, jumped off, and as he was running back to his room, he shouted "hahaha... I'm NAKED MAN!". Fortunately he got dressed promptly afterward. Naked Man made us late for school!

Just now he came running in the room (he was supposed to be brushing his teeth) and announced "I know how to make soap water! First you put soap in the cup and then you add water and then you shake it up and that's how you make it. And then you pour it out!". Then he ran back to brush his teeth, saying "I am a scientist!".
