Today, while helping me make elderberry syrup, Scratch asked, "is this for the 'misher-aries' ?" (missionaries). Confused, I said, "No, it's for us to drink to keep us healthy. Why?" "Because it's called Elder-berry syrup. And they are Elders". He was asking a sincere question and didn't realize he'd made a joke. :)
It reminds me of this past Christmas. Santa brought the kids a helicopter drone and, upon opening it, Scratch exclaimed, "What the helicopter?!" to which we all immediately started laughing. He couldn't understand what we found funny. :)
This kid keeps us in stitches every day! He is so much fun to have around!
