I guess I shouldn't be surprised he would have picked up on that. This is the kid that always says funny and rather sophisticated things. Here is a sampling:
(in putting a hat on the female WT) "You look smashing!"
(telling a story about eating raw garlic) "My tongue was writhing in pain for about 10 minutes!"
(talking about "The Wiggles" a kid's video series, which has grown men doing silly things) "The Wiggles should be rated PG-13 for scary images!"
(this was a conversation between the two oldest):
G: I'm not going to waste my time by being so luxurious.
D: Do you know what that means?
G: Yeah, like lazy.

K: Animals, go bed, sun come up, I woke up, I go down the hill
M: Do bubbles in the nursery, I was being quiet, Daddy didn't see it, people didn't see me (He is referring to the time he snuck a bottle of bubbles out of the nursery at church, went into another classroom and emptied the contents of the bottle on the carpet. It took Dad, who was on twin duty, a while to get that cleaned. And it was clean indeed afterward!)
