Conversations with Luke

As we were eating dinner on 11/7/12, Luke said something about Barack Obama.  The rest of the conversation went like this:

Luke: Did the white guy win?
Me: Did the right guy win?
Luke: No, the white guy.
Me: No, the white guy didn't win.  Barack Obama is our President.  But Luke you shouldn't call him the white guy.  That isn't nice.  He has a name.
Luke:  What is his name?
Me: Mitt Romney.  Where did you hear the white guy?
Luke: Goo Bear (Luke's friend Will at daycare)
Me:  Well, it isn't nice say the white guy.  He has a name just like you have a name.
Luke: So Mitt Romney didn't win?
Me: No, Barack Obama is the President of the United States of America.
Luke: Like the flag.
Me: Yes, the flag represents the United States.
Luke: Oh.

The next morning in the car:
Luke: Is the white guy's name Mitt Romney?
Me: Yes, but we shouldn't say white guy.  We should just say his name.
Luke: I am going to tell Goo Bear that his name is Mitt Romney.

Luke was naming the letters on a stop sign one day and I told him how you spell "stop".  Now he is into asking me how to spell a lot of words.  After spelling many for him, we got to this point:

Luke: How do spell Wally?
Me: W-A-L-L-Y
Luke: (with such excitement and disbelief) What???  Daddy's has two L's?  I have an L.  We are like brothers!
Me: (cracking up)
Luke: If you had a P, you and Paige could be twins!
Me: (still cracking up)
Luke: How do you spell Nala?
Me: N-A-L-A
Luke: Nala has an L too???  We are all on the same team!  (He is now cracking up!)

Paige's favorite song is Twinkle, Twinkle and when it comes on in the car, she puts her arms up in the air and twinkles her fingers.  Luke was doing it with her one day and it was the cutest thing to see then smiling at each other.  We were headed to church one Sunday morning, and I asked Luke to do Twinkle Twinkle with Paige so Daddy could see.  His response was, "I only do that on Tuesdays."

My iPhone was without a cover for awhile, and Luke was playing with it in the car one day when all of the sudden he turned it over and said, "Mom, your phone is from Applebee's!"
