Mr. Conversation

Jacob is quite verbose lately, and his discussions and explanations are quite entertaining.
Just a few mintues he ago he came in from playing with the neighbor kids in our backyard, saying,

"Mommy, Collin got hurt, so do you have an idea to make him better?"

A few nights ago, long after we hoped they would be asleep, Jacob came out and launched into this lengthy, one-sided conversation. It was as if he knew that if he stopped to let us get a word in edgewise, he would be promptly sent back to bed.

"Hey mom and dad, Andrew's little Grover is lost, and Andrew is worried about
him, and we've looked evweywhere fo' him and we can't find him, so I have some
ideas. One idea is to dig and dig in our stuff to find him (it was here that he must have sensed our growing urge to stop the dialogue and send him to bed) and my next idea is for you guys to
look for him while I go back to bed."

With that, he turned on his heels and when directly back to bed without another word!
