My daughter: Tomorrow night I'm going to sneak out at night and look out our window and see a unicorn. They are called unicorns because they like to eat corn. Daddy, cook corn on the cob so we can peel it and leave it out for them to eat.

Taught my 3 year old how to make collages. (Great way to make use of all those annoying flyers and brochures). We made a couple and my wife couldn't tell whose was whose. Either I collage at a 3 year old level, or she collages at a 45 year old level #the40daddy
