New Jacobisms

1. Last night, climbing up to his chair at the dinner table:
Jacob: Okay, evvybuddy, there is something I want to talk about
Me & Kate: (exchanging glances, trying to suppress giggles) okay Jacob what is it
Jacob: Cats
Me and Kate: Cats?
Jacob: Yes
Kate: What about cats would you like to talk about?
Jacob: No, you be a cat
Kate: Ummm, meow?
Jacob: (nods solemnly)

2. Jacob, running laps of the house yesterday
Jacob: I'm the fastest boyeeeeee in the worrrrrrrld!
I noted that he limited his dominance to boys, in order to not offend his sister. But a friend of ours remarked that maybe he was trying not to stoke his mother's competitive fires. Smart kid.
